Abstract
A novel floating probe block assembly with self-centering capability is presented. In accordance with the invention, a single probe block frame floatably seats a probe block on one or more self-centering springs within the frame along a first axis to center the floating probe block in the vertical plane perpendicular to the direction of probing. Countersunk spring receptacle openings center the floating probe block in the horizontal plane.
