Patent ID: 7285966

Claim:
A probe having a prescribed thickness and formed in the shape of a flat plate, the probe comprising: a main probe including: a body part bent at the middle thereof so that the body part is elastically tensioned or compressed when a tension force or a compression force is applied to the body part at the upper and lower ends thereof; a connection part integrally formed with the lower end of the body part, the connection part being fixed to a substrate; and a tip part integrally formed with the upper end of the body part, the tip part contacting a pad of an element; and an auxiliary probe being fixedly attached to one side of the main probe, the auxiliary probe including: a body part identical to the body part of the main probe, the body part being attached to one side of the body part of the main probe so that the body part is elastically tensioned or compressed when a tension force or a compression force is applied to the body part at the upper and lower ends thereof, thereby reinforcing the strength of the probe; and a connection part identical to the connection part of the main probe, wherein the auxiliary probe is not provided with a tip part.
