Abstract

See full text

A twist pin is used as an interconnect interface to conduct signals to and from an electronic component. The twist pin includes a bulge which establishes compressive contact force with a sidewall of a via in which the twist pin resides, and the resulting force resists movement of the end of the twist pin away from the electronic component to assure good signal conductivity. The arrangement may be used as a test socket for testing integrated circuit components or permanently docking electronic components.
