Abstract
An electrical header (40) comprises an insulating block (42) having contact elements (44) thereon which are made from bent drawn wire, each contact element (44) comprising a contact portion (46) extending across one side (41) of the block (46) and a leg (50) for insertion into a hole (H) in a printed circuit board (PCB). An electrical jack (2) for mating with the header (40) has an insulating housing (4) with a cavity (b 6) for receiving a mating plug. Terminals (10) secured in a wall (12) of the housing (4) have contact springs for engaging contacts of the plug and contact tails (18) with contact loops (24) which are bowed away from the cavity wall (12) to engage the contact portions (46) of the header (40) when it has been mated with the jack (2). This construction of the jack and header avoids the need to taper ends of the wires from which the contact elements are made, for mating with the contact tails.
