Patent ID: 7503781

Claim:
A socket connector assembly, comprising: an insulative housing comprising a bottom conductive section defining a plurality of contact-receiving slots and four sidewalls extending upwardly from edges of the conductive section; a pick-up cap assembled to the insulative housing and comprising a smooth top surface adapted for being sucked by a vacuum device and opposite contacting surface formed with a plurality of downward protrusions to engage interior surfaces of the sidewalls; and wherein at least one of the sidewalls of the insulative housing and the pick-up cap defines at least a pair of aligning posts at opposite corners thereof, and at least one of the pick-up cap and the sidewalls of the insulative housing defines a pair of aligning slots at opposite corners thereof to interferentially receive the aligning posts to assemble the pick-up cap to the insulative housing; wherein the aligning posts extend downwardly from the contacting surface of the pick-up cap, and wherein the aligning slots are defined in the sidewalls of the insulative housing; wherein the insulative housing forms a pair of positioning posts extending downwardly from the sidewalls at the other two opposite corners; wherein the pick-up cap defines a pair of disengage recesses on the contact surface at the corners of the plate adjacent to the pair of aligning posts for separating the pick-up cap from the insulative housing conveniently.
