ABSTRACT:
An intermediate connector assembly for establishing electrical connection between a header pin conductor and a remote female connector includes an outer insulating housing having slots defined in a wall, and a cavity adapted to receive a carrier. The cavity includes an interior outer housing surface sloped toward the cavity in a direction of the slotted outer housing wall. The carrier is movably received within the cavity, and carries at least one electrical terminal, the terminal having a male portion extending outwardly from the carrier and the outer housing, and a female portion disposed within the cavity of the outer insulating housing. A wafer adapted to enclose the cavity of the outer housing carries at least one pin conductor for termination to the female terminal portion. The wafer includes drive surfaces for contacting the carrier to force the carrier toward the conductor-receiving outer housing wall to an extent sufficient to establish electrical connection between the female terminal portion and the pin conductor. The female portion, disposed within the cavity, is cammed onto the pin conductor to provide weak or zero insertion force termination.
