1. A method comprising:
identifying an eye-of-needle (EON) compliant pin connected to a printed circuit board (PCB), the EON compliant pin comprising:
a first compliant segment comprising two opposing first spring arms defining a first substantially planar opening;a top portion of the first compliant segment connected to a bottom portion of a first length segment,wherein the compliant segment and the length segment together form a substantially straight solid body; removing the EON compliant pin from the PCB,
wherein the EON complaint pin created a set of contact points where two opposing spring arms of the EON compliant pin were engaging an inner surface of an electrical via of the PCB; examining the set of contact points where the two opposing spring arms of the EON compliant pin were engaging the inner surface of the electrical via of the PCB; determining, based on the examining the set of contact points, the angle of the twisted EON compliant pin; and inserting a twisted EON complaint pin into the electrical via of the PCB at a different set of contact points, the twisted EON compliant pin comprising:
a compliant segment comprising two opposing spring arms defining a substantially planar opening,a twisted segment connected between a top portion of the compliant segment and a bottom portion of a length segment,wherein the compliant segment, the length segment, and the twisted segment together form a substantially straight solid body,wherein the twisted segment is twisted about a longitudinal axis of the substantially straight solid body such that the substantially planar opening of the compliant segment is rotated at an angle with respect to the length segment. |
