The invention is a method and apparatus for a probe tip contact for
electrically coupling a substrate to a probe tip. The apparatus, in one
embodiment, comprises a wrap-around contact that is precision formed
utilizing a hydroform tool and brazed to a surface of a substrate. In
another embodiment, the apparatus comprises a contact flange, a mounting
flange extending from a first edge of the contact flange in an
orientation substantially perpendicular to the contact flange, and a
substantially circular indentation formed in the contact flange adapted
for accommodating movement of said probe tip relative to said substrate.
