Abstract

A probing test apparatus comprising a probe card having a plurality of probes and first terminals contacted with and electrically connected to conductive pads of a circuit, a test head having a signal transmitting circuit through which the test signal is transmitted to the probes, a performance board having second terminals electrically connected to the signal transmitting circuit, a contact ring interposed between the performance board and the probe card and whose impedance has been adjusted, a plurality of first-type pogopins each having a pair of pin members contacting the first and second terminals to transmit the test signal to the probes, and a plurality of second-type pogopins each having a pair of pin members contacting the first and second terminals, the second-type pogopins being arranged in the contact ring, surrounding each first-type pogopin in a plane perpendicular to the axes of the pin members, and electrically connected to the first terminal grounded.
