ABSTRACT:
A convertible connector which may be either a male or female pressfit connector uses a common metal shell that is reversed depending upon whether a male or female connector is used, and which receives one of two different insulators depending upon the type of connector to be made. The insulator is used to press fit the terminal pin into the printed circuit board, and a standard prior art male pressfit terminal pin is used with a metallic tube fitted over one end of the male pressfit terminal to adapt it for use in the convertible connector.
