Abstract
An electrical pin field connector assembly includes a printed circuit board having a plurality of pins projecting from at least one side thereof. A housing is mounted over the pins with a mounting face of the housing in close proximity to the one side of the printed circuit board. The pins extend through passages in the housing. A locking member is disposed within the confines of the housing and intersects at least one of the passages. The locking member includes a gripping aperture aligned with the one passage for gripping the respective pin that extends therethrough to hold the housing mounted over the pins with the mounting face in close proximity to the printed circuit board.
