Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 127 words
An inspection electrode unit for printed wiring board, comprising: an insulating substrate; an inspection electrode element set up on one side of the substrate in which inspection electrodes are formed at standard grids crosswise arranged and which element has a plurality of functional regions each having a plurality of inspection electrodes identically positioned in each of said plurality of functional regions; and a connecting material through which correspondingly positioned ones of said inspection electrodes of said plural functional regions are connected together, to form commonized electrodes, wherein the identical positioning of said plurality of inspection electrodes in said plurality of functional regions allows for inspection of said printed wiring board so that individual printed wiring board electrodes to be inspected are individually connected to said commonized electrodes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 127 words
An inspection electrode unit for printed wiring board, comprising: an insulating substrate; an inspection electrode element set up on one side of the substrate in which inspection electrodes are formed at standard grids crosswise arranged and which element has a plurality of functional regions each having a plurality of inspection electrodes identically positioned in each of said plurality of functional regions; and a connecting material through which correspondingly positioned ones of said inspection electrodes of said plural functional regions are connected together, to form commonized electrodes, wherein the identical positioning of said plurality of inspection electrodes in said plurality of functional regions allows for inspection of said printed wiring board so that individual printed wiring board electrodes to be inspected are individually connected to said commonized electrodes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
The inspection electrode unit according to claim 1, wherein the number of the functional regions is 4 n in which n is an integer of 1 or more.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 12 words
