ABSTRACT:
A connector pin that has one or more regions along its length modified in cross-section so the region deforms plastically as a result of stress induced by displacement of connected members. As used herein, plastic definition means that the structure approaches a condition where it will continue to yield without increase in load. Each region therefore provides a deformable or "plastic" hinge, limiting a moment applied to the solder joint as a result of lateral displacement of the connector relative to the circuit board.
