Abstract
An interconnection device used with test probe equipment for connecting a vertical-pin integrated circuit probing device to external test equipment. The interconnection device comprises a probe card with a pattern of contacts, a mounting plate adjustably mounted to the probe card and a space transformer member attached to both the mounting plate and the probe card. The space transformer carries traces which connect a small pattern of pins on the probing device with a larger pattern of conductors on the probe card. The space transformer is a laminated impedance-matching member comprising two layers of beryllium copper separated by a thin dielectric adhesive.
