Abstract:
1. A test apparatus comprising: a coupling member including a base plate, terminals provided on a front surface and a back surface of the base plate and having elastic deforming portions, and conducting portions each formed between the elastic deforming portions in the base plate for providing conductive contact between the terminals on the front surface and the terminals on the back surface; a substrate formed with recesses arranged in a column, each of the recesses accommodating a test object and the coupling member; a plurality of electrodes provided on a bottom surface of the recess; a positioning portion for replaceably positioning the coupling member with respect to the substrate while keeping the elastic deforming portions on the back surface of the base plate in contact with the plurality of electrodes; and a pressing portion for pressing the test object set in the recess against the coupling member while keeping electrodes of the test object in contact with the terminals on the front surface of the coupling member, wherein the recess is capable of accommodating a test object assembly including a plurality of the test objects connected with one another; and the recesses are capable of accommodating a plurality of the test object assemblies.
