Patent ID: 7204730

Claim:
An electrical inter-connection system comprising: a circuit board substrate including at least one aperture, said aperture being defined by a sidewall having a conductive surface; and a conductive body having at least one protrusion extending from a base, said protrusion engaging two spaced-apart generally flat surfaces of said sidewall upon inserting said protrusion in said aperture, and once inserted, said protrusion being seized within said aperture at said two spaced-apart portions with an interference fit between said protrusion and said two spaced-apart portions, wherein said aperture has an eccentric shape, wherein said aperture is shaped as a slot having a length and a width, wherein the difference between said slot width and said protrusion diameter is between 1.5% and 20% of said slot width, and wherein the electrical inter-connection system is solderless.
