Abstract:
1. A method for producing a probe card, comprising the steps of: aligning a plurality of conductive wire strands in a parallel relationship with one another in such a manner as to avoid occurrence of short-circuit; fixedly securing one end parts of the conductive wire strands to a first insulating block; fixedly securing the other end parts of the conductive wire strands to a second insulating block so that intermediate parts of the conductive wire strands can extend between the first and second insulating blocks; attaching the first insulating block to a mounting plate; crushing the intermediate parts of the conductive wire strands in their longitudinal directions to form curved contact parts; and attaching the second insulating block to the mounting plate in a spaced-apart relationship with respect to the first insulating block.
