Abstract
A probe head arrangement for contacting a plurality of closely adjacent conductor lines 2 comprises a minimum of one probe head 3, where a plurality of fingers 4 together with a back 5 are made in one piece of monocrystalline silicon in semiconductor technique. A plurality of such probe heads 3 are composed to form a tester. At the beginning of each test it is determined which fingers 4 are to be, and are not to be placed onto the individual conductor lines 2 of a card 1 to be tested. Subsequently, the short and interruption tests can be implemented after the correlation of finger and probe head addresses with the conductor line addresses.
