A connector for a pin includes a support ring, and a contact ring of fingers that are (i) connected to and integrally formed with the support ring, (ii) held in a space within the support ring, (iii) define a channel within the contact ring for receiving the pin, (iv) are resilient with respect to the outer support to apply radially inward forces on the pin, and (v) have a curved inner profile to increase the surface area in contact with the pin. A resilient element may be placed in the space between the support ring and contact ring. An adapter is described employing such connectors. Also disclosed is apparatus for use with a pin and a printed circuit board, the apparatus having a frame configured to mount on a surface of the printed circuit board and connectors mounted on the frame. <IMAGE> |
