ABSTRACT:
Provided is a contact probe unit for establishing an electric contact between parts to be contacted and terminals of an external circuit. A plurality of needle members are slidably received individually in support holes provided in a support block. A resilient block is placed over the upper surface of the support block, and the needle members can be thereby engaged to the parts to be contacted with a suitable spring force. The electric contact between the upper ends of the needle members and the terminals of the external circuit may be achieved either directly or via a pressure sensitive electroconductive resilient block. The use of resiliently supported needle members ensures a high reliability and a high durability. Furthermore, a high dimensional precision on the pitch of the front ends of the needle members can be achieved without any difficulty.
