<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pin for inserting into a plated hole having a designated diameter. <P>SOLUTION: The pin includes a compliant section including a pair of outwardly-biased beam members having an elongated opening therebetween. Each beam has a beam thickness. The beam thickness and the elongated opening are optimized with respect to the diameter at the time of inserting the pin into the hole such that the compliant section is limited to a predetermined level of plastic deformation and the compliant section is limited to a predetermined level of damage imparted upon the plated hole. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
