ABSTRACT:
A multiple male pin electrical header is provided for connection to the surface of a printed circuit board. No header components need extend entirely through the board. The header comprises an integral and electrically insulating body member; and the plurality of male pin connectors extend through the body member. The pins have tail portions adapted to electrically contact pads or other surfaces of a printed circuit board. Pin head portions extend upwardly for connection with another electrical connector. The header body portion is formed to define a plurality of pin cavities, each cavity being shaped to expose only an individual male pin connector for contact by test probe. These cavities are shaped to discourage simultaneous test probe shorting contact across a plurality of connector pins. The body member is geometrically configured to provide recesses between the pin members, so that the body member can be broken apart at any one of the recesses to provide a multiple pin electrical header of desired extent.
