Abstract
A method and apparatus for constructing a probe card assembly is provided. A probe pin is inserted into an aperture of an inverted socket enclosure to cause a probe pin shoulder of the probe pin to make contact with an aperture shoulder of the aperture. An upper end of the probe pin protrudes from the aperture after the probe pin shoulder makes contact with the aperture shoulder. A compressible member is inserted into the aperture to position an upper end of the compressible member to make contact with a lower portion of the probe pin. A substrate is aligned over the inverted socket enclosure so that the lower end of the compressible member is in contact with a substrate contact located on the substrate. The substrate is affixed in a non-permanent manner to the inverted socket enclosure.
