Abstract
An electrical connector system is disclosed having a pin header and housing assembly which can be latched and separated by the action of a single lever. The subject system includes a pin header mountable on a printed circuit board or the like to enclose an array of pin terminals fixedly mounted therein. The pin header also includes a standoff feature allowing wire wrap connection to the terminals. A connector member is receivable in the pin header and, by means of a lever actuated cam, is locked therein and extracted therefrom. The connector member also includes strain relief means for conductors connected to receptacle terminals carried thereby and the ability to individually probe the terminals without dismounting the connector member from the pin header.
