An assembly of the present invention includes an electronic connector ( ) and a vacuum placement cover ( ). The connector includes a housing ( ) and a plurality of contacts ( ). Two side walls ( ) are separated from a tongue member ( ) of the housing by a pair of grooves ( ) at both sides of the tongue member. The vacuum placement cover comprises a cover member ( ) having a cover plate ( ) with a flat top surface ( ) for receiving a vacuum pick-up force for placement of the connector. Two side plates ( ) depend from opposite sides of the cover plate and fit against outer surfaces of the side walls to keep the cover from wobbling and to protect the side walls from deflecting under the force of the cover. Two resilient clamping members ( ) are formed on longitudinal sides of the cover plate, each clamping member comprising two opposite gripping legs ( ) for clamping opposite faces of the tongue member.
