Abstract:
1. An electrical connector assembly comprising: an electrical connector for being mounted onto a circuit substrate by surface mount technology(SMT); and a pick up cap mounted onto the connector and having a first surface engagable with a vacuum suction device and a second surface, opposite to the first surface, having at least one protrusion extending downwardly therefrom, said at least one protrusion spacing the second surface of the pick up cap from a top surface of the connector to form a gap therebetween under a condition that said second surface is not engaged with any portions of said top surface of the connector, thereby permitting heated air to flow therethrough during mounting the connector assembly onto the circuit substrate by SMT; wherein the pick up cap comprises at least one passage there through; wherein the pick up cap comprises a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and a pair of first latches are formed at the first end and a pair of second latches are formed at the second end; wherein the pick up cap has a pair of first protrusions and a pair of second protrusions formed at the first end and the second end respectively.
