Abstract

An inspection jig includes a flexible substrate, a block, a pressing member, and a first pin fixed to the pressing member. The block has a first positioning hole opened in a substantially center portion of an opposite surface of a main surface thereof. The first pin is inserted into the first positioning hole. A large diameter portion and a small diameter portion are provided in an inner peripheral side of the first positioning hole. A diameter of the large diameter portion is smaller than a diameter of the large diameter portion. The large diameter portion is formed so as not to contact the first pin when the block is not inclined. The block is configured to be inclined with the first pin as a fulcrum.
