Abstract: A connector header (10) is provided. The connector header includes an electrically insulating body (12), having an upper surface (14) and an opposed lower surface (16), separated by end walls (18) and side walls (20). At least two projections (22) are formed on said lower surface (16). At least one electrically conducting wire wrap pin (24) is fixed in said electrically insulating body (12), projects beyond said lower surface (16), and has an exposed surface (24a) adjacent said upper surface (14). The connector header also includes a solder relieving feature (26)formed with at least one of said end walls (18) or side walls (20).

Abstract: An assembly (10) comprises a receptacle (12) having a base (14) including a single longitudinal row (16) of male connector pins (18) extending above and below the base. First wall and second walls (20, 22) project above the base (14) and have similar heights but differing widths, W and W1. The first wall and the second wall are spaced differing distances D and D1 from the single row of pins (18). A connector (24) with a central body (26) is formed to engage the receptacle (12) by mating with the uneven walls W and W1 and the asymmetric spacing of the pins (18). The uneven walls and the asymmetrical spacing of the pins (18) from the walls provide plural asymmetries assuring a positive alignment for the pieces of the assembly (10).

Abstract: An assembly (10) comprises a receptacle (12) having a base (14) including a longitudinal row (16) of male connector pins (18) extending above and below the base. A first wall (20) projects above the base (14), the first wall (20) having a given height (H) and a given width (W) and being spaced a given distance (D) from the longitudinal row (16) of male connector pins (18). A second wall (22) is spaced from the first wall (20) and also projects above the base (14). The second wall (22) has a height (H1) substantially equal to the given height (H) and a width (W1) different from the given width (W) and being spaced from the longitudinal row (16) of connector pins (18) a distance (D1) different from the given distance (D). A connector (24) has a central body (26) formed to fit between the first and second walls (20, 22). The central body (26) includes a longitudinal row (28) of female connector pins (30) formed to engage the male connector pins (18). The pins (30) can terminate in male ends (30a) if desired.

Abstract: A quick disconnect pin assembly is provided with a bushing having an intel bore with an axially extending recess. The disconnect pin, insertable into the bore, has an annular groove in alignment with the recess when the pin is in an inserted position within the bushing. This recess defines a locking ring seat. A resilient locking ring in the groove locks between the seat and the shoulder to prevent withdrawal of the pin after the pin is inserted. The bushing has a side face on its inserted end which is of less diameter than its side face on the other end toward the withdrawal opening of the bushing, forming a space between the bushing and the pin. Part of a release means for releasing the ring from engagement between the seat and the shoulder to deflect it backwardly into the groove so that the pin can be withdrawn utilizes this space.
