Abstract
A rectangular pick-up is disclosed for use with an electrical card connector including a housing fixedly receiving a number of contacts each having a contact portion for engaging with an inserted card and a tail portion for being soldered to a PCB by SMT, and two guiding rails extending from lateral ends of the housing for guiding the card into/out of the connector. The pick-up is integrally formed by plastic injection molding with an upper wall, a lower wall, a front side, a rear side and two lateral arms each defining a lateral protrusion. A cavity is defined in the pick-up and is exposed to the rear side of the pick-up. When the pick-up is mounted to the connector, the rear side engages with the housing, the lateral arms are received in the guiding rails, the protrusions interferentially engage with the rails, and the cavity receives the contact portions of the contact therein. The upper wall defines a flat surface which can receive a vacuum force from a vacuum tool whereby the connector together with the pick-up can be moved to a predetermined position on the PCB.
