4. The probe card of claim 1 wherein each of the probes comprises a cantilevered wire probe extending beyond an edge of the base.
5. The probe card of claim 1, further comprising a test power circuit coupled to the plurality of probes and adapted to deliver test power to the plurality of probes.
6. The probe card of claim 1 wherein each of the actuators is adapted to selectively move a tip of the associated probe upwardly away form the positions of the contacts.
7. The probe card of claim 1 wherein each of the actuators is adapted to change from the first temperature to the second temperature in response to an applied voltage.
8. The probe card of claim 1 wherein a tip of at least one probe is in contact with at least one of the contacts when the probes are in the first relative orientation.
9. The probe card of claim 1 wherein the probes are not in contact with the contacts when the probes are in the second relative orientation.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
