Abstract
An assembly for preventing deformation of compliant pins when interconnecting two printed circuit boards with the pins includes a mechanism for limiting an amount of movement of a flexible portion of the pins. In one approach, a bar is placed within the flexible portion of the pins to block damaging movement. In another approach, wing portions of the pins are locked into a surface thus preventing movement of the pin that could cause damage to the flexible portion of the pin.
