<p>Contact pin has a compliant portion having two spaced-apart openings therein at locations adjacent to the ends of the compliant portion. The compliant portion is sheared along a shear line extending axially between the openings. The shear line divides the compliant portion into two side-by-side beams. The beams are displaced in opposite first directions away from the axis of the pins. The openings and the shear line define ears on each beam which extend towards the other beam. When the compliant portion is inserted into a circuit board hole, the ears are moved into overlapping relationship and the compliant portions are flexed in second opposite directions which are normal to the first opposite directions. The ears of each beam function as an intermediate support for the other beam. A high degree of adaptability as regards stock thickness and dimensions of the pin is achieved by virtue of the fact that the beams are flexed parallel to their major surfaces and are supported intermediate their ends by the ears.</p> |
