Back-up support spring construction. The shrouded header has three side walls to ease insertion of the receptacle.

• Back-up support spring construction

Each socket contact in this projected entry connector consists of two independently functioning and redundant contact spring members. In turn, each of these spring is based up with an additional spring and "overstress stop". This combination of features makes it impossible to damage this connector by repeated mating or by mismating.

• Easy insertion

The shrouded header has three side walls to ease insertion of the receptacle. When the receptacle is inserted into the header, it first mates with the housing guide after which the header pins are guided into the receptacle via lead-in chamfers in the housing. In addition, the housings have guide ribs and slots to prevent improper contact caused by prying or mishandling.

• Board retention feature

The pins of these connectors have a board retention feature that prevents them from floating during soldering. This ensures accurate positioning of the connectors on the finished product.
