ABSTRACT:
A probe card includes a contactor supporting probes, and a printed wiring board electrically connected to the contactor. An elastic sheet is interposed between the contactor and the printed wiring board. The elastic sheet is formed so that elasticity in a central side is smaller than that in an outer peripheral side of the contactor. An elastic reaction force which acts on the contactor from the elastic sheet when the elastic sheet is compressed becomes weaker at the central part side as compared with the outer peripheral side of the contactor. Thereby, the bending amount of a central part of the contactor which is away from a fixed end and bends the most is reduced, and horizontality of the contactor is maintained.
