Abstract
An electrical male connector assembly including a header or male connector having an insulator body member and a plurality of parallel pins which project through opposite sides of the insulator body. The connector includes two separate insulator body members mounted on a common set of parallel pins, and may further include an intermediate mounting member disposed on the same set of pins between the two body members.
Claims8
An electrical male connector assembly comprising, in combination, a first header body member of insulating material having a plurality of pin openings therein, a plurality of rigid electrically conductive parallel pins extending through said first header body member, a center layer section of insulating material having a plurality of pin openings therein, said center layer section being mounted on said plurality of pins adjacent said first header body member, and a second header body member of insulating material having a plurality of pin openings therein, said second header body member being mounted on said plurality of pins adjacent said center layer section on a side opposite said first body member whereby said first and second body members are disposed on opposite sides of said center layer section and held together in assembled relation at least in part by a frictional fit with said common set of conductive pins, said conductive pins being of a length substantially greater than the thickness of said first and second body members and said center layer section and being positioned relative to said first and second body members so as to project substantially beyond the outer surfaces of both of said first and second body members for mating with female connection contacts or to serve as wire wrap termination posts, and mounting means on said center layer section for mounting said male connector assembly.
