Abstract
A carrier (,) comprises a guiding tape (,) from which a plurality of linking strips (,) extend and engage with a plurality of contacts (,) each of which comprises a mating portion (,) having a first half (,) and a second half (,) connected to each other via an engagement plate (,). A plurality of compliant pins (,) extends from the first half (,) and each compliant pin (,) terminates as a free end (,). A plurality of linking strips (,) engages with each first half (,). A guiding tape (,) engages with the linking strips (,) so that each linking strip (,) is connected between the first half (,) and the guiding tape (,). A coining step to round the edge of compliant portions (,) is to be carried out. The attachment of the guiding tape (,) to the linking strips (,) rather than to the free ends (,) of the compliant pins (,) facilitates such coining step.
