Abstract
A surface mount technology (SMT) terminal header is described for providing an electrical connection to a first printed circuit board (PCB). The SMT terminal header includes multiple first electrically conductive connector elements each having a base configured for surface mount attachment to the first PCB, and an insulative housing having multiple cells and a fixation member configured to attach the housing to the first PCB. Each of the multiple cells is configured to at least partially house one of the multiple first electrically conductive connector elements. Each of the first electrically conductive connector elements includes a position assurance member configured to attach the first electrically conductive connector element to at least one of the multiple cells of the insulative housing.
