          Appeal No. 1997-2652                                                        
          Application 08/385,509                                                      



          passing through one of said holes in said first printed                     
          circuit board and each protruding from an opposite side of                  
          said first printed circuit board."  In column 3, lines 22                   
          through 25, Damon teaches that figure 1 shows a wire wrapping               
          pin 17 mounted in board 11 having socket ends 21 extending                  
          through conductive layer 14 on the opposite side of the board               
          from the projecting pins.  Damon further teaches in column 3,               
          lines 25 through 27, that the wire wrapping pins of this                    
          configuration may be referred to as socket                                  
          pins.  In column 3, lines 58 through 60, Damon teaches that                 
          figure 4 is a greatly enlarged sectional view showing a                     
          portion of one row of pins 17 as they appear in a complete                  
          structure.   We note that figure 4 clearly shows the socket                 
          portion of the                                                              


          component protruding through panel board 11 with the pin                    
          extending from the socket portion.  Therefore, we fail to find              
          that Damon teaches a first electrical circuit component having              
          one or more pins passing through one of the holes of said                   
          first printed circuit board since the Damon electrical circuit              

                                          11
