<p>An electrical connector assembly comprises a receptacle (22) and a right angle header (80) for connecting two or more printed circuit boards. A composite action beam (38) is located in the receptacle and has a movable end and a fixed end. During an initial phase of the pin insertion cycle, the movable end of the composite action beam deflects so as to minimize the force necessary to insert the pin (82) into the connector housing. The composite action beam (38) supported at both ends exerts sufficiently high normal force against the inserted pin (82) so as to retain the pin (82) in the inserted position. The pins (82) are positively aligned in a header housing (88) such that component tolerances are maintained and a large array of pins can be easily inserted into connection with the printed circuit board (86) at one end and into connection with the receptacle (22) at the other end.</p> |
