Abstract
A header apparatus for providing electrical connection between a daughter card and a printed circuit board. The header apparatus may include a body having a base and a backing portion extending outwardly from the base portion. The header apparatus may include at least one pin extending through the base in a direction substantially parallel to the backing portion, and a gap formed between opposing surfaces of the backing portion and the at least one pin. The header apparatus may be configured to receive at least a portion of the daughter card at the gap to connect the header apparatus and the daughter card. The header apparatus may be connected to a daughter card and/or main printed circuit board, and may communicatively couple the daughter card and main printed circuit board.
