<p>The connector (10) includes a housing (12) having a cable (32) receiving end (40) and opposed mating end (42) for printed circuit board (22) mounted pins (20) with a bottom wall (50) having a board engaging surface (52) extending therebetween. Extending parallel to the surface (52), between the cable receiving and pin mating ends of the connector is a plurality of wire and terminal receiving cavities (62) which have an open top, communicating with a top surface (56) of the connector housing. Terminals (16) received in the cavities (62) have a wire engaging portion (72) with insulation piercing barbs (74), and an opposed pin (20) engaging portion (82) with an integrally formed cantilever spring finger (88). When loaded into the housing (12), the wire engaging portion (72) of the terminal terminates wire conductors (30) received at one end of the cavity while the pin (20) engaging portion (82) is positioned adjacent pin receiving passageways (66) located adjacent the mating end (42) of the housing. As the connector (10) is lowered onto an upper surface (26) of the printed circuit board (22), post-like terminals (20) mounted on the board are received in the pin receiving passageways (66) to make sliding contact with the cantilevered spring fingers (88).</p> |
