Abstract
A pin connector is provided including a housing having a central orifice and an annular skirt laterally projecting therefrom. The skirt is bondable over a structurally integrated pad with integral wiring array. An array of compliant pins are insertable within holes in the pad. A pin retainer is disposed within the central orifice and includes an array of through holes formed therethrough. The array of compliant pins is disposed within the through holes of the pin retainer. The central orifice is adapted to receive a mating connector such that an array of contacts associated with the mating connector insert within the through holes of the pin retainer to make electrical contact with the array of compliant pins in the pin connector.
