Abstract
A method for manufacturing a probe head for the functionality testing of devices under test (DUT) is disclosed. The method includes providing a containment element, arranging a lower guide at a lower face of the containment element which faces toward the devices under test during the test, and arranging an upper guide at an upper face of the containment element. The containment element is interposed between the lower and upper guides which are initially in the shape of a single plate connected to the containment element. The method further includes cutting the lower and/or upper guide thereby defining a plurality of guide portions that are independent and separated from each other, and inserting a plurality of contact elements into respective guide holes formed in the guides. The contact elements are adapted to contact pads of the devices under test. A probe head obtained by the method is also disclosed.
