ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for mounting a header assembly to a mounting surface of an electrical apparatus through the use of a vacuum-suction nozzle. The header assembly includes a dielectric housing adapted to be positioned adjacent the mounting surface. The assembly includes a plurality of terminals mounted in the housing. The terminals have tail portions for interconnection to circuitry of the electrical apparatus and pin portions projecting from the housing. A slip-off cover has a plurality of pin-receiving passages for receiving free ends of the pin portions of at least some of the terminals. The pin portions are interference-fit in the passages to allow the cover and the header assembly to be mounted together to the electrical apparatus and to allow the cover to be slid off the terminals after the tail portions of the terminals are interconnected to the circuitry of the electrical apparatus. The cover has a smooth top surface area of a size sufficient for engagement by the vacuum-suction nozzle for conjoint manipulation and positioning of the header assembly and the cover.
