A header assembly (40) includes an insulator block (42) having a given thickness (D) and a plurality of pin-receiving passages therethrough (44). A plurality of terminal pins (43) are received in the passages and project from the insulator block for insertion into holes in a printed circuit board and for solder connection to circuit traces on the circuit board. The terminal pins are interference-fit in the passages in the insulator block to allow the block to be slid off the pins after soldering to the printed circuit board. The area (E) of the interference-fit between the terminal pins and the pin-receiving passages is less than the thickness of the insulator block to reduce the amount of force required to slide the block off of the pins while affording the block to be of a substantial thickness. The pin-receiving passages are provided with chamfered mouths to facilitate insertion of terminal pins into the passages. A flange (46) projects outwardly from the top (48) of the insulator block to facilitate gripping the block and sliding the block off the terminal pins. <IMAGE> |
