Abstract
An intercoupling component is provided which permits reliable, non-permanent electrical connection between a first substrate and a second substrate. The intercoupling component includes a socket terminal having a first end, and a second end opposed to the first end. An axial hole extends inward from the second end, and an electrically conductive core member is disposed within the axial hole. The core member is formed of a different material than the socket terminal body, and is sized and shaped to obstruct the hole. In addition, the first end of the socket terminal is configured to receive a pin terminal, and the second end of the socket terminal is configured to be received within a hole in a printed circuit board.
