<p>An eye-of-the needle (EON) pin contact (32) is configured to be received within an electrical via (34) that includes conductive material (42). The EON pin contact comprises a compliant segment (60) including two opposing spring arms (64, 66) and an opening defined between the spring arms, the compliant segment being configured to be received within the electrical via such that the spring arms engage the conductive material. A tip segment (62) extending from the compliant segment is configured to be received into the electrical via before the compliant segment is received into the electrical via. The tip segment comprises broaches (82a, 82b) that are configured to displace the conductive material as the tip segment is received into the electrical via so as to plow respective paths (104a, 104b) through the conductive material for reception of the spring arms.</p> |
