ABSTRACT:
A novel press-fit pin or socket member, as, for example, an electrically-conductive metal pin, characterized by a knurl section which has spaced bumps and adjacent grooves perimetrically and longitudinally spaced from one another and which is adapted to engage a substrate hole in a press-fitting relationship. Pin or socket members with the knurl section can be manufactured by a wire-forming process in which end-to-end connected pins are formed as a continuous strip needing no excess material for carrying the pins, nor are any air gaps formed between the pins, and thus the finished continuous strip of pins can be wound up on a reel.
