Abstract
A contactor is used for testing an integrated circuit electronic component provided with a plurality of electrodes. The contactor includes an insulating base material provided with holes formed at positions corresponding to the electrodes, a first conductive layer having contacts which are plastically deformed portions of the first conductive layer, and reinforcement members provided on the contacts on a first surface of the contacts. The first surface of the contacts is facing towards the holes. The contacts are provided at positions corresponding to the electrodes for enabling an electrical connection to the electronic component and are protruded from the insulating base material.
Claims3
A method of manufacturing a contactor used for testing an integrated circuit electronic component provided with a plurality of electrodes, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) preparing a wiring substrate having an insulating base material and a first conductive layer;
- and
- b) forming contacts by mechanically pressing said wiring substrate with a pressing member such that said first conductive layer is plastically deformed at positions corresponding to said electrodes, and then removing the pressing member.
