ABSTRACT:
A header assembly comprising a thermoplastic housing and two rows of metallic conductor pins is attached to a printed circuit board. The conductor pins have tails which are bent over anvil portions of the housing and project through slots in a locator plate at the conductor end of the housing. The locator plate slots have detents for retaining the bent tails in a pattern to facilitate assembly and soldering of the tails in a matching pattern of holes in the printed circuit board. Stress on the solder connections due to differential thermal expansion is reduced by flexure of the conductor pins in enlarged rearward cavity portions and slippage of the bent tails in the detents.
