ABSTRACT:
A terminal connection pin for solderless connections comprising a press-fit section which is insertable into a contact through bore of a printed circuit board to provide a solderless electrical and mechanical connection between the terminal connection pin and the contact through bore of the printed circuit board, wherein the terminal connection pin has a generally square cross section with an enlarged press-fit section having a groove extending parallel to its longitudinal axis and providing at least two contact paths in an axial direction which are opposite one another and have a limited flexibility. The terminal connection pin provides excellent holding force, and sufficient contact forces across the length of the contact through bore can be achieved by contouring the outer surfaces of the lateral areas and rear area of the press-fit section, with respect to the groove, in the form of peaks and valleys extending in an axial direction, where the distance between the peaks serving as contact points corresponds to half the thickness of the printed circuit board, and where the peaks of the rear area are aligned with the valleys of the lateral areas and the valleys of the rear area are aligned with the peaks of the lateral areas.
