Abstract
An electrical assembly which includes a first circuit member (e.g., TCM) with at least one conductive pin projecting therefrom for being frictionally and electrically engaged by a flexible portion of circuit means of a second circuit member (e.g., PCB). An opening is provided within the PCB relative to the flexible portions such that these portions project at least partly across the opening and frictionally engage respective conductive portions of the pin when inserted within the opening. Each of these flexible portions in turn is part of a circuit layer which may be coupled to respective conductive planes or the like within the PCB, while the respective conductive portions of the pin may in turn be electrically coupled to various conductive layers within/upon the TCM.
