ABSTRACT:
A disposable electrical connector header includes a base portion having a plurality of pin-receiving passages being open on one side. An external adjacent spring member to the open side of the passages provides an interference fit when a terminal pin is inserted from the bottom of the base portion of the disposable header. A plurality of terminal pins are received in the passages and project from the disposable header for insertion into holes in a printed circuit board and for solder connection to circuit traces on the circuit board. The disposable header is then slid off the terminal pins after soldering to the printed circuit board. A top portion is also provided having pin stops located correspondingly above each of the passages to restrict the movement of the terminal pins once inserted into the passages of the disposable header. A flat top at the upper portion of the disposable header is provided for robotic placement or removal of the disposable header.
