Abstract

A probe card, which is used to transmit power signals and test signals from a tester to a DUT, includes a pin base, a plurality of signal pins, a signal conducting circuit and at least one power conducting circuit. The signal pins are made of conductive materials, and each contacts the DUT with an end thereof; the signal conducting circuit has a first resistance, and electrically connects the tester and the other end of one of the signal pin to transmit the test signals to the DUT; the power conducting circuit has a second resistance which is much less than the first resistance, and electrically connects the tester and the other end of one of the signal pin which is not connected with the signal conducting circuit to transmit the power signals to the DUT.
