ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (20) has a plurality of compliant pin terminals (28) inserted into a "header" or insulated connector housing member (22) by a force exerted directly on an end portion (32) of each compliant pin terminal (28). Each compliant pin terminal (28) carries a contact portion (40), which is laterally offset with respect to the compliant pin terminal (28), so as not to interfere with the direct engagement of the compliant pin terminal (28) by a tool (46). The tool (46), which is driven by a suitable ram or press, is guided within a cavity (48) in the housing member (22).
