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 18):
A press-fit pin comprising:\n a tip for insertion of the press-fit pin into an electrical via; a compliant portion comprising a pair of resilient arms configured to deform when inserted into the electrical via; a crossbar extending horizontally between the arms to reduce a risk of buckling; and a neck connecting the compliant portion to a base; wherein the arms are spaced from one another to define an opening, said opening comprising a central portion, an upper portion, and a lower portion, the arms converging from said central portion towards an upper end near the base and a lower end near the tip, each of said upper end and said lower end of said opening comprising an elongated portion defining a stress relief area; wherein said elongated portion comprises a semi-circle and wherein the semi-circle at said upper end has a radius larger than the semi-circle at said lower end and wherein the semi-circle at said upper end is configured to compensate for a large tolerance limit of the electrical via and wherein the semi-circle at said lower end is configured to reduce an insertion force of the press-fit pin into the electrical via.
