Abstract
A probe for inspecting characteristics of a terminal of a multipolar connector includes a flange having a through hole and serving to mount the probe to a facility; and a coaxial cable inserted through the through hole of the flange, extending in an axial direction, and having an end portion at which a probe pin is mounted. The probe also includes a plunger containing the probe pin and having a recess for fitting the multipolar connector, with the probe pin being exposed in the recess. The probe further includes a spring containing the coaxial cable between the flange and the plunger and having an end portion fixed to the flange and another end portion fixed to the plunger.
