Abstract
A probe pin inspection mechanism a includes a base, a pair of movable bodies, a pair of movable-body elastic bodies, and a conductor. The movable bodies are supported by the base to be movable in a first direction from a first position with respect to the base, and respectively include ends and terminals electrically connected to the respective ends. The movable-body elastic bodies elastically press the movable bodies in a second direction. The conductor is supported by the base and electrically connects the terminals of the movable bodies by making contact with the terminals. The state between the terminals and the conductor is switched, according to the position of the movable bodies, between a conductive state in which the terminals and the conductor are in contact with each other and a non-conductive state in which the terminals and the conductor are separated from each other.
