Preassembled connecting and terminating apparatus for connecting multiple pin-type contacts to the edge of printed circuit boards for interconnecting associated electrical circuits or circuitry thereon. Contacts are preloaded and press fitted into a connector header assembly for immediate use or shipment. The header assembly includes integral guiding and camming means permitting contact insertion or removal from the top or the bottom of the header without the inconvenience of dismounting the assembly. This permits the connector header to be dismounted without disturbing the preload feature thereby avoiding damage to the contacts or the header. Integral means is provided enabling the contacts to be press fitted into holes in the printed circuit board in spite of partial misalignment between contact and hole without damage to the board or to the contacts. Means is also provided permitting the header to receive a contact insertion tool for press fitting contacts into connector header, and also permanently attaching the contacts to the associated printed circuit board, by press fitting.
