An electrical connection pin blank having at least one compliant section is affixed to a first circuit board by compressive deformation in such a way that the compliant section of the pin blank projects outwardly from the surface of the first circuit board. The end of the pin projecting from the first circuit board is then inserted into a corresponding opening in a second circuit board and the two boards brought together until the second circuit board is firmly affixed to the complaint section of the pin by compliant pin connection.

[ We claim:] [1.] A process for forming a pinned module assembly comprising:(1) providing a substrate defining a first surface, a second surface spaced from said first surface, and a plurality of holes for receiving a plurality of electrical connector pin blanks having a first end portion and a second end portion;(2) inserting said first end portion of said electrical connection pin blanks into a hole of said plurality of holes, said electrical connection pin blanks having a substrate-engaging section and a compliant section spaced from said substrate engaging section, said electrical connection pin blanks being inserted into said substrate from said first surface so that the compliant section of each of said electrical connection pin blanks project from the first surface of said substrate and further so that said substrate-engaging section is in said hole with a portion of said substrate-engaging section protruding beyond the second surface of substrate and another portion of said substrate-engaging section protruding beyond said first surface, and(3) securely fastening a plurality of electrical connection pin blanks to said plurality of holes in said substrate by applying a compressive force along a longitudinal axis of each of said pin blanks thereby causing the portions of the substrate-engaging section of said pin blank protruding out from the first and second surfaces of said substrate to deform into first and second bulges locking each pin blank in place,(4) inserting said second end of said electrical connection pin blanks into openings of a second substrate, said openings having a size compatible with the compliant section of said pin blanks so that when said compliant section is inserted into said opening the compliant section of said pin blanks is firmly affixed to the walls of the opening of said second substrate, and(5) moving said first and second substrates together until the compliant section of said pin blanks are inserted into and becomes firmly affixed to the walls of said respective openings.
