Abstract
A press-fit pin for making electrical contact with a via is a self-supporting pin having a serpentine shape. The pin may have at least two bends therein, so as to make contact with the via at multiple pairs of contact points separated longitudinally along the length of the pin. This use of a single-member contact with the via may allow use of smaller vias. In a direction longitudinally down the pin, successive pairs of contact points may be on opposite sides of the pin, so as to provide normal forces on opposite sides of the via and the pin, thus tending to provide some degree of balance in forces between the pin and the via. The pin may have rounded, coined corners and a tapered tip, in order to facilitate insertion of the pin into the via, without undue force, and without damage to either the pin or the via.
