Apparatus and method for inspecting electrical continuity of circuit board, jig for use therein, and recording medium thereon

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for inspecting electrical continuity of a circuit board, capable of decreasing the impedance in a current path as an inspection object to achieve enhanced SN ratio. A coupling capacitance is formed at one of terminals of a pattern wire on a board as an inspection object in a non-contact manner, and an inductance (450) and a lead wire are connected to this capacitance. An AC inspection signal is applied to the other terminal through the lead wire in a contact manner. A resonance circuit is defined by the capacitance, inductance and pattern wire, and thereby an output signal can be detected with lowering the impedance.
