ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically connecting a plated or soldered through hole of a printed circuit board to another electrical device includes a plurality of conductors each having a deflection arm for maintaining a contact force on the circuit board and a dimple formed as a continuous surface from the deflection arm. Each dimple is sized and shaped to enter a through hole and to electrically contact the plating or solder material formed in the hole. Contact can be at a point within the hole or along the circumference of the hole. In addition, each dimple is sized and shaped to enter a range of through hole sizes. In a preferred embodiment each dimple is formed in a generally pyramidal shape with creased edges and a smooth apex. The dimple may also be formed in a generally conical shape.
