1. An electrical connection header for securing to a housing enclosing an electrical device, comprising:
- a plurality of electrical pins, each including a first portion and a second portion, said second portion oriented generally orthogonal to said first portion;
a connector shroud defining a plurality of pin apertures, each of said first portions of said pins inserted into one of said pin apertures, said first portions oriented generally parallel with said apertures of said connector shroud; and
a hood secured to said connector shroud and configured to be secured to the housing to generally conceal said pins, said hood extending beyond a bend point of at least one of said pins;
wherein said pins are configured to extend through an aperture of the housing to contact the electrical device when the electrical connection header is secured to the housing.

Abstract
An electrical connection header for an electrical device and a method for assembling the same are disclosed herein. A connection header may include a plurality of electrical pins, each of which has a first portion and a second portion oriented generally orthogonal to each other. The pins may be inserted to a connector shroud which defines a plurality of apertures for receiving the first portions of the pins. A hood may be secured to the connector shroud such that the hood extends beyond a bend point of at least one of the pins.
