Abstract
A latch/eject pin header is disclosed which provides both positive locking of a connector in a header and positive ejection of the connector upon disconnect. The subject header includes an elongated housing defining an elongated cavity therein with a plurality of pin terminals fixed in the base of the cavity and latching members pivotally mounted at the ends of the cavity. Each latching member includes a latching arm for engaging the mating connector, an eject arm for levering the connector from the cavity, and an actuating arm to effect pivotal movement of the latching member.
