Abstract
A connector provides an interconnection between an IC pack and a printed circuit board. The connector is in the form of a header for mounting on the printed circuit board and into which the IC pack is inserted. A plurality of terminals on the header are adapted for interconnection of the IC pack to electrical traces on the printed circuit board. An electrical switch is provided in the header and is actuated by the IC pack upon insertion of the IC pack therewithin and therefore detects the presence of the IC pack within the header. The switch is interconnected to electrical traces on the printed circuit board.
