Coaxial probe.

摘要

A coaxial test probe employs a flexible inner conductor (34) that buckles upon the application of an axial load and is housed within a conductive outer sheath (12, 14, 18). The inner probe includes an insulating spacer (33) which forms a recess (38) applied to the protruding end of the inner conductor, such that buckling occurs within this recess. A plurality of adjacent probes are mounted on a test fixture at opposing angles to facilitate automatic interrogation of closely spaced contact pads.
