Abstract
A compliant press-fit pin for electrically coupling a first board to a second board via a plated through hole formed in the second board, includes: an upper part for electrically fixing the first board; a lower part for electrically coupling the first board to a third board via the plated through hole formed in the second board; and a press-fit part located between said upper part and said lower part and containing a fixed beam and a compliant cantilever beam, for electrically coupling the first board fixed to said press-fit part to the second board, wherein the fixed beam and the compliant cantilever beam provide a retention force against a wall of the plated through hole, thereby electrically press-fitting the compliant press-fit pin into the plated through hole, when said press-fit part is inserted into the plated through hole.
