ABSTRACT:
A preassembled press fit connector and method of mounting the same on a printed circuit board in an array of plated thru holes comprises a selectively configured connector housing and first and second adjacent rows of contacts mounted within the housing. Each contact has a press shoulder portion within the housing and a press fit section extending downwardly below of the housing. A removable insert includes a plate portion for defining an external connector press surface above the housing and first and second rows of integral teeth extending downwardly into the housing. The rows of teeth engage one each with the press shoulder portions of the first and second row of contacts. This allows the press fit sections of the contacts to be simultaneously forced into mating engagement with the plated thru holes of the printed circuit board by applying pressure to the external connector press surface presented by the removable insert.
