Abstract

The pin for electronic assemblies according to the present invention consists of a core alloy with 0.2 to 1.5 wt. % Ag, the remainder copper, whereby at least the contact surface of the pin is provided with one or several highly conductive and/or easily solderable coatings. With this not only a higher electric conductivity of the contact is obtained but also a comparatively high strength with simple production and good workability, which makes it possible to miniaturize the pins.
