Abstract: A harness connector includes a harness housing having a signal cavity and a power cavity defined by housing walls. At least one of the housing walls has a locking rail extending therefrom into the corresponding signal cavity or power cavity. Signal harness cartridges are received in the signal cavity, each holding a plurality of signal terminals. Each signal harness cartridge has a locking slot configured to receive a corresponding locking rail in a position directly behind the signal terminals to secure the signal terminals in the signal harness cartridge. A power harness cartridge is received in the power cavity that holds a plurality of power terminals. The power harness cartridge has a locking slot configured to receive a corresponding locking rail in a position directly behind the power terminals to secure the power terminals in the power harness cartridge.

Abstract: An input/output electrical connector header 102 includes at least two rows of terminal pins 140 which can be connected to two separate printed circuit boards 106 and 108. The same header 102 provides input and output for both printed circuit boards 106, 108. The terminal pins 140 in each of the rows extend through openings 130 in the same header housing wall 126. A separable interconnection is made between pins in a second terminal row and a second printed circuit board 108 at the rear of the header 102. This separate connection can be established by a separate multiposition connector 114, 214, 314 or 414 containing receptacle contacts 116, 216, 316, 416 respectively. In other embodiments, this separate connector 514, 614, 714 and 1214, includes the terminal pins in the second terminal row in the separate connector.
