An electrical connector (,) comprises an elongate insulative housing (,) including a projection (,) projecting forwardly from the insulative housing, a plurality of terminals (,) received in grooves (,) defined in the elongate housing, a conductive shell (,) covering the projection of the insulative housing, and a conductive pick-up cover (,) engaging with a top of the insulative housing. A rivet (,) is used to secure a board lock (,) to the housing. The board lock has a leg (,) 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 (,) with an inclined face (,). The pick-up cover includes a flat plate (,) with a pair of latches (,) 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.

Electrical connector with a pick-up cover

An insert module for an electrical connector includes a spacer and contacts loaded therein. Clearance holes are defined through the spacer and horizontal holes are defined in a front end portion of the spacer in communication with the clearance holes. Receiving holes are defined in a bottom surface of the spacer in communication with the clearance holes and the horizontal holes. A contact in an initial straight shape is inserted into and through the horizontal hole for being upwardly and downwardly bent to respectively form a slanted spring contact portion and a right-angle bent tail portion received in the receiving hole. The clearance holes facilitate the downward bending of the contacts.
