Claim 10:
11. A structure for electrically connecting an external conductor, said structure comprising: a wiring substrate comprising a stack based arrangement of a plurality of layers, said layers defined by electrically conducting layer and insulating layers; at least one rivet embedded within the wiring substrate, said rivet comprising an upper section extending through the stack of the plurality of layers, and a bottom section extending laterally within the wiring substrate with reference to the upper section; and a metallic-post vertically extending from the upper section of the rivet for receiving an external conductor and thereby electrically connecting the conductor with the wiring substrate via the rivet, wherein the wiring substrate is a printed circuit substrate (PCB) composed of a pattern of dielectric layers and copper layers; and wherein the bottom section is embedded within the insulating layer of the wiring substrate, the insulating layer corresponding to a non-conducting substrate of the PCB.
