Abstract
An improved pin connector system comprising a compliant pin that effects a resilient interference fit within a complementary circular aperture of a printed circuit board. The pin utilizes an improved three beam configuration that optimizes electrical continuity, load distribution and mechanical stability, yet minimizes insertion force. The compliant pin exhibits improved contact wiping upon insertion and superior anti-torque and retention force characteristics after insertion.
