Abstract
A pin assembly is configured to interconnect a first circuit board and a second circuit board. The pin assembly includes a set of pins. Each pin of the set of pins has a first end, a second end, and a mid-portion. The pin assembly further includes a frame which contacts the mid-portion of each pin of the set of pins to position the pins such that (i) the first ends of the pins simultaneously register into respective holes of the first circuit board when the pin assembly engages with the first circuit board, and (ii) the second ends of the pins simultaneously register into respective holes of the second circuit board when the pin assembly engages with the second circuit board.
