ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a connector body and an array of posts extending out at least one side of the connector body. Each of the posts defines a tip and two opposed pairs of post faces that intersect at edges extending along the post. The tip defines four tip faces which converge toward a tip nose, and each tip face is aligned with a respective one of the post faces. Each of the tip faces is convex outwardly, and the edges between the post faces adjacent the tip are curved with a radius of curvature greater than about 0.005 inches. The electrical connector is assembled by press fitting the posts through pre-formed through holes, and the tip geometry reduces skiving of material out of the through hole as well as assembly forces.
