Flexible insertion pin for producing electrical interconnection between component and circuit board, has deformation zone whose connecting edges and contact edges abut on inner periphery of hole when insertion pin is located in hole

摘要

The pin (1) has a deformation zone (6) with contact edges (8) extending parallel in a pressing direction and the deformation zone extending between connecting edges (4, 5) and the contact edge. Another deformation zone (7) has another contact edge (9) that runs parallel to the pressing direction, where the insertion pin is dimensioned such that the connecting edges and the contact edges abut on an inner periphery of a hole when the insertion pin is located in the hole, where one of the contact edge is shorter than one of the connecting edge. An independent claim is also included for a method for producing a flexible insertion pin.
