According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Probe Card Connectors market size was valued at US$ 3101 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 4772 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.4% during review period.
A Probe Card Connectors is an interface between an electronic test system and a semiconductor wafer. Typically the probe card is mechanically docked to a prober and electrically connected to a tester. Its purpose is to provide an electrical path between the test system and the circuits on the wafer, thereby permitting the testing and validation of the circuits at the wafer level, usually before they are diced and packaged. It consists, normally, of a printed circuit board (PCB) and some form of contact elements, usually metallic, but possibly of other materials as well.
