Abstract
An apparatus for inspecting a display board or a circuit board in which an inspection terminal of an inspection probe block B is pressed into contact with an electrode pad of a display board or a circuit portion P for inspection. A probe block supporting frame member has an expandable and contractible structure, and when the probe block supporting frame member is expanded, a board supporting frame member can be relatively advanced. Due to the relative advancement of the board supporting frame member , the display board or the circuit board P protrudes forward of a distal end of the terminal of the probe block B through an enlarged opening area of the probe supporting frame member , so that the display board or the circuit board P supported on the board supporting frame member can be exchanged with another board.
