Abstract:
In one embodiment, an eye of needle (EON) press-fit pin includes a base, a tip, and a compliant portion extending longitudinally between the base and the tip and comprising a pair of resilient deformable arms joined at opposite ends and defining an opening therebetween. The arms each include an outer surface for at least partial engagement with walls of an electrical via upon insertion therein. The outer surface of each of the arms includes a central segment having a flat longitudinal surface and converges from the central segment towards the base and the tip. The arms each further include an inner surface defining the opening and forming an elongated portion at each end of the opening for stress relief.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus comprising:\n an electrical connector for insertion into an electrical via of a circuit board, the electrical connector comprising a pair of resilient arms joined at a proximal end and a distal end, the arms spaced from one another to define an opening therebetween; wherein said opening comprises a central portion in which the arms are spaced from one another and extend generally parallel to one another to enhance retention force, an upper portion in which the arms converge towards said proximal end, and a lower portion in which the arms converge towards said distal end; wherein said opening is shaped to form a stress relief area at said proximal end and said distal end, and wherein an inner surface of the arms defining said opening converges in a generally convex shape into a semi-circle, the semi-circle at said proximal end of said opening comprising a radius larger than the semi-circle at said distal end of said opening and wherein the semi-circle at said proximal end of said opening is configured to compensate for a large tolerance limit of the electrical via and wherein the semi-circle at said distal end of said opening is configured to reduce an insertion force of the apparatus into the electrical via.
