<p>A board (1) incorporates mounting pins (6) to which electrical components can be attached. In order to locate the pins (6) into the board (1), blind holes (7) are provided. The plating material of plating lines (2) extends into the blind holes (7), as indicated at 8, to coat the internal side walls of the holes. Each pin has a splined end (9) which will be an interference fit within the hole (7). Thus when the pin (6) is driven into the hole (7) it will be held tightly in place and additionally will make secure electrical contact with the plating material (8) within the hole (7).</p> |
