Abstract
A header connector snap lock apparatus for securing a header connector to a printed circuit board through insertion of semicircular header connector pegs into corresponding circular printed circuit board openings allowing for circuit board thermal expansion, for example during a wave solder process, and dispersing peg strain concentration through insertion force deflection of the peg and the beam along at least three deflection planes through use of a channeled, slotted cantilever beam extending out from the header connector and from which the peg extends.
