Micro compliant interconnect apparatus for integrated circuit devices

摘要

A micro compliant, test probe interconnect apparatus for an integrated circuit device is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes an elongated housing and a probe pin extending from a first end of the housing. A biasing mechanism holds the probe pin in a normally extended position, wherein the biasing mechanism is formed from a portion of the elongated housing. In a preferred embodiment, the biasing mechanism is a flexible tab, formed from a generally rectangular section of the elongated housing and bent inwardly therein to form a cantilever.
