ABSTRACT:
A first electrical insulation substrate having a pin and a second electrical insulation substrate having a hole formed therethrough for receiving the pin is provided. The pin is designed to control and limit the flow of the pin material to an upper portion of the pin during a cold forming process to avoid cracking the pin. This is accomplished by making a lower portion of the pin resistant to flow and the upper portion of the pin susceptible to flow. The lower portion of the pin may have a greater cross sectional area than the upper portion thus making the lower portion resistant to flow and the upper portion of the pin susceptible to flow.
