Abstract
A method includes (i) placing about a first alignment pin a first lead receptacle having a conductive portion, and (ii) placing about a second alignment pin a second lead receptacle having a conductive portion. The method further includes placing the first and second lead receptacles on a restraining fixture and attaching and electrically coupling a first conductor of a one piece lead frame pin assembly to the conductive portion of the first receptacle. The lead frame pin assembly has a tab element connecting the first conductor to a second conductor. The first and second conductors each include a feedthrough coupling portion. The method also includes attaching and electrically coupling the second conductor of the lead frame assembly to the conductive portion of the second receptacle. The lead receptacle and pin assembly may be inserted into a connector header.
