A pin for insertion into a hole having a diameter and a plating therein is provided. The pin includes a compliant portion including a pair of outwardly biased beam members having an elongate opening therebetween. Each beam has a beam thickness. The beam thickness and the elongate opening are optimized with respect to the diameter such when the pin is inserted into the hole that the compliant portion is limited to a predetermined level of plastic deformation and the compliant portion is limited to a predetermined level of damage imparted upon the hole plating.
