Abstract
Probe structures having multiple beams are joined at their ends with at least one functioning as a current carrying beam (i.e. an electrical beam) and at least one functioning as a structural beam (i.e. non-current carrying beam) that conveys desired mechanical or structural parameters for the probe such as spring force, scrubbing, over travel, operational stability and repeatability, and the like. The current carrying beam provides little with regard to mechanical properties, and the structural beam is separated from the current carrying beam along a majority of its length and does not pass current between the probe ends due to its dielectric nature or the presence of at least one dielectric barrier located at an end or along its length.
