ABSTRACT:
An eject header comprises an elongate insulative housing having opposing longitudinally extending sidewalls and transversely extending endwalls and a base supporting a plurality of male terminal posts therein for electrical connection with socket contacts of a complementary connector. The sidewalls, endwalls and base define a cavity for receipt of such complimentary socket connector. A pair of ejectors are mounted on the housing for pivotal movement in a plane substantially parallel to the endwalls and wherein the ejector lever is manually moveable toward and away from one of the sidewalls. The sidewall is formed to have an opening for receipt of a foot portion therethrough into the header cavity. Further, the sidewall is formed to have a sidewall portion attached to the endwall such that the sidewall portion intersects the plane of pivotal movement of the ejector lever. The attached sidewall portion, in addition to providing structural strength through the header housing, serves as a stopping surface for movement of the eject lever. By using the sidewall portion as a stop surface, the throw distance for ejecting the complementary socket connector is enhanced.
