- 8 - COMPLIANT CONTACT PIN Abstract An electrical terminal pin adapted for engagement with a plated-through hole in a printed wiring board backplane. The pin includes at least one end for receiving electrically conductive elements and an S-shaped compliant portion adapted and dimensioned to minimize deformation of the plated-through hole. The compliant portion includes a transition section in which the S shaped cross section evolves from the square cross section of the end of the pin. Because of the varying dimensions in the transition section, a smaller plated-through hole, which requires more "conditioning" than a larger hole, will be first encountered by a relatively stiffer part of the pin. As a result, the tolerance required in the production of plated-through holes may be increased.
