ABSTRACT:
A shroud (10) for reception on a pin array (12) in a printed circuit board (14) has walls (28, 30) defining a cavity (24) for receiving a complementary mating connector (26). A latch lever (36) in the wall (32) pivots on a shaft (42) a portion of which is a cam (52). Cam (52) biases a pin (12a) of the array of pins (12) against a surface (58) of the shroud (10) thereby securing the shroud (10) to the pin array (12). A locking portion (38) of the latch lever (36) latchingly engages a V-slot lock (54) in mating connector (26). An eject portion (40) of the latch lever (36) passes between adjacent rows of pins (12) to engage the mating face of connector (26) received in cavity (24). Shroud (10) is adapted to be plugged into the pin array (12) without removing any pins (12) thereby preserving all pins for repositioning of shroud (10) or for other termination techniques. The shroud (10) housing may be profiled (27) for polarization or keying.
