Abstract
A pin header assembly is disclosed for snap-on mounting in a printed circuit board to provide a shrouded protection for a pin array extending from either or both sides of the board. The header not only provides a protective shroud for the pins but can be profiled to perform a polarizing and retention function as well as have stand-offs to allow for wire wrap of portions of the pins immediately adjacent one side of the board and yet provide full protection for the free ends of the pins.
