ABSTRACT:
An anchor pin, for anchoring one component upon another, such as an electrical connector upon a printed circuit board, by way of a passage defined by a mounting hole in one of the components that is substantially aligned with an opening in the other component. The anchor pin having a first form with a volume larger than the volume defined by the passage while being receivable within the passage and a second form in response to an external energy input, whereby the anchor pin within the passage becomes fluid deforming to substantially fill the passage, automatically accommodating any misalignment, and overflowing therefrom to form opposing heads. The mounting pin hardens in this form to anchor the components together.
