Abstract

See full text

A pin contact for pressing into electrical engagement with a plated section in a hole in a circuit board. The contact includes a deformable portion for engaging the plated section with a feed-through portion and a terminal portion at opposite ends thereof. An end part of the deformable portion adjacent to the feed-through portion is deformed prior to insertion of the deformable portion into the hole. This substantially eliminates deviation of the feed-through portion from a central longitudinal axis or rotational deviation of the contact caused by pressing of the contact into the hole. A method and apparatus for making the contact are also disclosed.
