Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A conductive micro pin includes a body having a first end surface, a second end surface, a first side surface connecting the first end surface and the second end surface, and a first corner between the first end surface and the first side surface, in which the first side surface is substantially flat, and the first corner is substantially rounded.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A conductive micro pin, comprising: a body having a first end surface, a second end surface, a first side surface connecting the first end surface and the second end surface, and a first corner between the first end surface and the first side surface, wherein the first side surface is substantially flat, the first corner is substantially rounded, and the first side surface is substantially hourglass-shaped. 2. The conductive micro pin of claim 1 , wherein the body further has a second corner between the second end surface and the first side surface, and the second corner is substantially rounded. 3. The conductive micro pin of claim 1 , wherein the body further has a second side surface connecting the first end surface and the second end surface and a second corner between the first end surface and the second side surface, and the second corner is substantially rounded. 4. The conductive micro pin of claim 3 , wherein the second side surface is substantially flat. 5. The conductive micro pin of claim 1 , wherein the body further has a second side surface opposite the first side surface, and the second side surface is substantially flat. 6. The conductive micro pin of claim 5 , wherein the body further has a second corner between the first end surface and the second side surface, and the second corner is substantially rounded. 7. The conductive micro pin of claim 6 , wherein the body further has a third corner between the second end surface and the second side surface, and the third corner is substantially rounded. 8. The conductive micro pin of claim 1 , further comprising a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, wherein the second side surface is substantially hourglass-shaped. 9. A conductive micro pin, comprising: a body having a first end surface, a second end surface, a first side surface connecting the first end surface and the second end surface, a second side surface connecting the first end surface and the second end surface, a first corner between the first side surface and the second side surface, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface are substantially flat, the first corner is substantially rounded, and the first side surface is substantially hourglass-shaped. 10. The conductive micro pin of claim 9 , wherein the body further has a third side surface opposite the first side surface, and the third side surface is substantially flat. 11. The conductive micro pin of claim 9 , wherein the first end surface has a different shape than the substantially hourglass-shaped first side surface. 12. The conductive micro pin of claim 9 , wherein the second end surface has a different shape than the substantially hourglass-shaped first side surface. 13. The conductive micro pin of claim 9 , wherein the second side surface is substantially V-shaped. 14. A conductive micro pin, comprising: a body having a first end surface, a second end surface, a first side surface connected to the first end surface, a second side surface connected to the first side surface and separated from the first end surface by the first side surface, and a first corner between the first side surface and the second side surface, wherein the first corner is substantially rounded, and the first side surface is substantially hourglass-shaped. 15. The conductive micro pin of claim 14 , wherein the first side surface is substantially flat. 16. The conductive micro pin of claim 15 , wherein the second side surface is substantially flat. 17. The conductive micro pin of claim 15 , wherein the first end surface is substantially flat. 18. The conductive micro pin of claim 14 , wherein the body further has a third side surface connecting the second side surface to the second end surface. 19. The conductive micro pin of claim 18 , wherein the body further has a second corner between the second side surface and the third side surface, and the second corner is substantially rounded. 20. The conductive micro pin of claim 18 , wherein the third side surface is substantially flat.
