<p>A circuit board pin with a compliant portion (12) having two side-by-side beams (24) joined together along one edge of each beam. At the join, the beams hinge relative to each other and opposing surfaces of the beams diverge from the hinge (26). A convex continuously smooth surface (30) extends around the beams to make the beams thicker as they extend away from the hinge. The compliant portion is made within a closed mold (72,90,130,132) by displacing material into the shape of the mold cavity.</p> |
