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 1):
An eye of needle (EON) press-fit pin comprising:\n 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 comprising a central portion in which the arms are spaced from one another and extend generally parallel to one another to enhance retention force, each of the arms comprising an outer surface for at least partial engagement with walls of an electrical via upon insertion therein, said outer surface of each of the arms comprising a central segment having a flat longitudinal surface and converging from said central segment towards the base and the tip, and an inner surface defining said opening, said inner surface converging in a generally convex shape into a semi-circle defined by an elongated portion at each end of the opening for stress relief; wherein the semi-circle at a proximal end of said opening near the base has a radius larger than the semi-circle at a distal end of said opening near the tip and wherein said elongated portion at said proximal end of said opening is configured to compensate for a large tolerance limit of the electrical via and wherein said elongated portion at said distal end of said opening is configured to reduce an insertion force of the EON press-fit pin into the electrical via.
