A device probe includes a primary probe arm and a subsequent probe arm with a slip plane spacing between the primary probe arm and subsequent probe arm. Each probe arm is integrally part of a probe base that is attachable to a probe card. During probe use on a semiconductive device or a semiconductor device package substrate, overtravel of the probe tip allows the primary and subsequent probe arms to deflect, while sufficient resistance to deflection creates a useful contact with an electrical structure such as an electrical bump or a bond pad.
