This disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods associated with a connector assembly for use with surface mount technology (SMT). The connector assembly has a connector header configured to be mounted to a circuit board and is constructed of a high-temperature resistant material suitable for use with a reflow soldering process. The connector header includes at least one connector socket and at least one mounting shoulder, and is configured to be coupled to a header attachment assembly. The header attachment assembly comprises at least one connector pin and at least one mounting shoulder, and is configured to be coupled to the connector header. An electronic device, such as a card reader or hard drive, may be connected to the header attachment assembly and thereby to the circuit board.
