Patent ID: 7264487

Claim:
An electrical connector assembly comprising: an electrical connector adapted for being mounted onto a circuit substrate by surface mount technology (SMT), the connector comprising: an insulative housing with a plurality of electrical contacts disposed therein; a pick up cap engagingly mounted above a top portion of the connector, the pick up cap having a planar body, the planar body having a planar top surface adapted for being engaged by a vacuum suction device and a bottom surface with a plurality of latches downwardly extending therefrom, and a plurality of holes defined in the planar body and extending through both the top surface and the bottom surface, and the holes are categorized with first and second groups wherein the holes in the first group are formed essentially as heat dissipation vias and unrelated to latches of the pick up cap, and the hole in the second group are for use during molding for forming the corresponding latches which are essentially aligned therewith in a vertical direction perpendicular to said planar body; wherein said connector includes a metal clip on a top portion thereof, which is provided for receiving said cap thereon; wherein said clip is curvilinear so as to provide a distance in the vertical direction with regard to the holes in the first group.
