Abstract
A device, apparatus and printed circuit board assembly for removably coupling an electrical component with a PCB are described, which provides adequate electromechanical capability, is relatively insensitive to related heating, component removability, replacability and reworkability while minimizing wear and the possibility of resizing and damage. The device includes a sleeve for coupling with a component pin, which encloses the pin and further couples to a conductive barrel interconnecting multiple PCB layers. The sleeve conforms upon insertion within the barrel to its contour. A flange at an end of the sleeve deters over-insertion. The coupling so formed can be gas-tight.
