ABSTRACT:
Press-fit contact pins are disclosed which are adapted for mating with various shrouds and mounting boards. Each of the press-fit contact pins includes a press-fit section comprising, in cross-section, an open, curved or arcuate segment, generally resembling a "C"-shape. The dimensioning of the "C"-shaped press-fit section and the ductility-elasticity of the material from which it is formed are such that, when the pin is inserted into any one of a number of holes in a mounting board of a wide range of sizes, the "C"-shaped press-fit section undergoes plastic deformation in a substantial portion thereof.
