ABSTRACT:
An improved pin header connector (10) mountable to a circuit substrate (120) includes a plurality of modular terminal subassemblies (12), shell means (59) defining a like plurality of terminal subassembly receiving cavities (108) and including means securing the terminal subassemblies (12) within respective cavities (108) in a manner permitting incremental floating of the subassemblies (12) in a transverse direction relative to the shell means (59), and means (50) included on each terminal subassembly (12) for aligning the terminal members (16) thereof with corresponding circuit pads (122) on the circuit substrate (120) upon the connector (10) being mounted to the substrate (120). Each subassembly (12) includes an array of terminal members (16) secured in dielectric means (40), each terminal member (16) having a rearward connecting portion (20) at least exposed at a mounting surface of the dielectric substrate (40), the second connecting portions (20) of the terminal members (16) being adapted to electrically engage respective conductive areas (122) of a corresponding array on a circuit substrate (120). The connector (10) further includes means independent of the aligning means for mounting the shell means (59) to the substrate (120).
