ABSTRACT:
A contact pin for a printed circuit board comprises a mounting portion for mounting the contact pin in a hole in the printed circuit board. The mounting portion comprises three legs extending in the longitudinal direction of the contact pin, at least the outer legs joining a solid contact pin portion at both ends. As seen in cross section, the center leg is bent radially outwardly and lies with its inwardly directed part between the outer legs. Both outer legs are mainly twisted to a position in which these outer legs extend obliquely outwardly from the center leg, as seen in cross section. The center leg is displaced radially outwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the contact pin a constant distance substantially along its whole length. As seen in cross section, the center of the circle touching the outer side of the three legs, lies at a distance from the longitudinal axis of the contact pin in a direction radially opposite from the center leg.
