Abstract
A probe card according to the present invention includes a support plate for supporting probes that contact an object to be inspected, a circuit board, a holding member for holding a lower surface of an outer peripheral portion of the support plate, and an abutting member disposed between the lower surface of the outer peripheral portion of the support plate and the holding member and protruding upward to abut to the lower surface of the outer peripheral portion of the support plate. Accordingly, horizontal expansion of the support plate itself is allowed, and at the time of inspecting electrical characteristics of the object to be inspected, even though the temperature of the support plate is increased and the support plate expands, the support plate can expand in a horizontal direction, thereby suppressing vertical deformation of the support plate.
