Abstract:
Crosstalk between probes in a vertical probe array is reduced by providing a grounded metal carrier disposed between the guide plates of the probe array. The metal carrier includes pockets that are laterally separated from each other by the metal carrier. Probes in different pockets are thereby electrically shielded from each other.

Claim (Index 1):
A vertical probe array configured to test an electrical device, the vertical probe array comprising:\n a first guide plate; a second guide plate; two or more vertical probes, each of the vertical probes configured to pass through corresponding holes in the first and second guide plates; a metal carrier disposed between the first and second guide plates; wherein the metal carrier includes two or more pockets extending between the first and second guide plates, wherein the vertical probes are disposed in the two or more pockets; wherein the metal carrier is grounded, whereby electrical isolation between probes in different pockets is improved.
