Abstract
A board-to-board connector assembled with an elongate cover, includes a housing forming a mating face, a soldering face, and a longitudinal channel in the mating face. The cover includes a central connecting portion having a pair of resilient arms perpendicularly extending from each lateral end thereof, a flat second surface for attachment of a vacuum nozzle, and a plurality of serially connected extension portions outwardly extending from the lateral ends of the connecting portion. A plurality of grooves are defined on both sides of the cover between each adjacent extension portions, whereby a predetermined number of extension portions can be readily removed to accommodate connectors of different size. After the connector is accurately aligned and soldered onto a mother board, the cover is removed from the connector so that a daughter board can be received in the channel.
