Abstract

A testing apparatus for testing a circuit board is disclosed, which includes an upper plate, a lower plate, and an adaptor circuit board. A plurality of positioning units is received in the lower plate. Each positioning unit has a plurality of length-variable test probes secured therein. Each test probe has a shell and upper and lower probe ends at opposite ends of the shell. In test, the circuit board is put on the lower plate and the upper plate is lowered to push the circuit board and the lower plate toward the adaptor circuit board. The upper ends of the test probes engage with electrical connectors of the circuit board and the lower ends thereof engage with the adaptor circuit board whereby test of the circuit board can be automatically performed by the testing apparatus.
