Abstract
A printed circuit board connector includes a daughterboard connector and a pin header. The daughterboard and pin header contacts are secured in their respective housings by interference nibs which are mounted on resilient portions of the contacts. Various constructions are disclosed for separating contact from a carry strip by means of a weakened break-line which will secure the contact to the carry strip during post-manufacturing operations and will form a sharp V-shaped tip when the contact is intentionally removed from the carry strip.
