Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pin and circuit board assembly includes at least three pins ( 24′, 24″ ). Each pin includes a first end ( 35 ) and a second end ( 37 ). All of the first ends of the pins are arranged on a common plane. The second ends of at least two of the pins are disposed on the common plane and a second end of at least one of the pins, other than the two pins, are disposed on a second plane that is offset from the common plane. The second end of each pin is spaced apart from a second end of another pin substantially at an angle of 360/N, where N is the total number of pins. A printed circuit board ( 22 ′) includes at least three pin holes ( 28′, 28″ ), each arranged to receive a second end of an associated pin in a press-fit arrangement. The assembly avoids tilting of the PCB upon inserting the pins.
