Abstract
A disk-shape portion of a surface mount connector housing or a separate cap member provides an upwardly facing surface adherable by suction to a suction nozzle of a conventional, automatic, vacuum type pick-and- place assembly tool and are, respectively, either integrally joined to the connector at the mating face, by a frangible or severable portion, or releasably attached to the connector housing by resilient legs which grip the housing between them, enabling the connector to be carried into position on a circuit board by the tool.
