ABSTRACT:
A carrier supports electrically conductive hollow pins for insertion and soldering in terminal lead-holes passing through the non-conductive substrate of a printed circuit board and formation of an electrical socket in the non-conductive substrate. Each hollow pin forms an electrical receptacle contact of the socket having an exposed opening for receiving a mating contact pin terminal of an electrical plug. The carrier includes a support structure for receiving and releasably supporting a plurality of the hollow pins in a selected pattern for inserting in a like plurality of terminal lead-holes arranged in the selected pattern. The carrier also includes a barrier structure joined to the support structure relative to the openings of the supported hollow pins and to the printed circuit board substrate to prevent solder applied to the hollow pins to secure them in the lead-holes from entering the openings. Preferably, the support structure and barrier structure are formed as a unitary molded plastic body, which bears a visually perceptible code indicia signifying the number of hollow socket contact pins that the carrier holds.
