Abstract: A contact terminal includes a tubular body extending in an axial direction of the contact terminal and having conductivity; a bar-shaped first conductor having conductivity and capable of coming into contact with an inspection target; and a bar-shaped second conductor having conductivity. The first conductor includes: a first protrusion that protrudes from the tubular body toward one side in the axial direction; and a first insertion portion provided at the other end of the first conductor in the axial direction and disposed in the tubular body. The second conductor includes a second insertion portion disposed in the tubular body. The tubular body includes: a spring portion configured in a spiral shape along a peripheral surface of the tubular body; and a first body portion connected to one side in the axial direction of the spring portion. The first insertion portion is fixed to the first body portion.

Abstract: Provided are an inspection jig and an inspection apparatus in which a configuration for bending a plurality of contacts in the same direction can be simplified. The inspection jig includes a plurality of contacts each of which has a rod shape, a first support portion that supports the first end portion side of the plurality of contacts, and a second support portion that supports the second end portion side of the plurality of contacts. The first support portion includes a facing support plate that is disposed to face the second support portion in a manner separated from the second support portion and has a plurality of through holes through which the plurality of contacts are inserted, and a cross section of each of the through holes has an elliptical shape whose major axis extends in a predetermined specific direction along a plane direction of the facing support plate.

Abstract: A probe is a probe having a substantially bar-like shape and includes a distal end portion with a substantially columnar shape adapted to be in contact with an inspection point provided on a device under test, a base end portion with a substantially columnar shape on an opposite side of the distal end portion, and a main body portion formed in a flat ribbon shape and extended to connect the distal end portion to the base end portion. The distal end portion is provided with a distal end surface inclined relative to and intersecting with an axial center of the probe.

Abstract: Provided are a probe that enables control of a bending direction and can be simply manufactured, an inspection jig using the probe, an inspection device, and a method of manufacturing the probe. A probe has a substantially bar-like shape extending linearly and includes: a tip end portion, a body portion continuous with the tip end portion Pa; and a base end portion continuous with the body portion. The body portion includes a first connection region having a thickness in a thickness direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the bar-like shape that gradually decreases away from the tip end portion, and a second connection region having a thickness that gradually decreases away from the base end portion. A dimension of the body portion in a width direction perpendicular to the thickness direction is larger than dimensions of the tip end portion and the base end portion.
