Abstract
An electrical connector (1) comprises an elongate insulative housing (3) including a projection (30) projecting forwardly from the insulative housing, a plurality of terminals (52) received in grooves (300) defined in the elongate housing, a conductive shell (2) covering the projection of the insulative housing, and a conductive pick-up cover (6) engaging with a top of the insulative housing. A rivet (8) is used to secure a board lock (7) to the housing. The board lock has a leg (73) for insertion into a printed circuit board thereby securing the connector to the printed circuit board. The top of the insulative housing defines at least a positioning hole (32) with an inclined face (35). The pick-up cover includes a flat plate (60) with a pair of latches (62) extending downward for mounting on the top of the insulative housing and at least a positioning ridge also extending downward from the pick-up cover for engaging with the at least one positioning hole of the insulative housing. The flat plate of the pick-up cover provides a flat pick-up face for attachment of a vacuum pick-up device.
