US Patent 7077658 Angled compliant pin interconnector

An angled compliant pin connector is provided, comprising an insulative housing and a plurality of press fit pins. Each said pin includes a first leg and a second leg, the legs joining to define a V-shape. One or both such legs may define an aperture therethrough, the apertures at least partially bounded by resilient walls. The press fit pins are carried by the insulative housing side-by-side generally parallel one to another, the first legs of the pins projecting from the insulative housing to provide a first attachment bed for connection to a first printed circuit board, the second legs of the pins projecting from the insulative housing to provide a second attachment bed for connection to a second printed circuit board, the two circuit boards residing in intersecting planes. The insulative housing may also include one or more mounting arms for bracing of a printed circuit board, and the mounting arms also may carry press fit pins for attachment to such printed circuit boards.
