The present invention provides a probe card that can examine an object
with small electrode spacing. A probe supporting plate is provided to a
lower face side of a printed wiring board of a probe card. A plurality of
probes are supported by the probe supporting plate. The probes comprise
an upper contact, a lower contact, and a main body portion. An upper end
portion of the upper contact protrudes toward an upper side of the probe
supporting plate and contacts a terminal of the printed wiring board. A
lower end portion of the lower contact protrudes toward a lower side of
the probe supporting plate. On the probe supporting plate, a through-hole
and a concave portion are formed to lock the probes, and the probes can
be inserted and removed freely against the probe supporting plate from
above.
