Electrical connector assembly with rotatably assembled pick up cap

Abstract

An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector (2) and a pick up cap (1) rotatably attached onto the connector to provide a flat top surface. The connector defines two spaced chambers (2200) in a middle portion of an end thereof, and forms an engaging wall (211) in a middle of an opposite end thereof. The pick up cap includes a smooth top surface (111), two spaced mounting portions (1111) at an end thereof, and two spaced latch arms (1102) at an opposite end thereof. In assembly, the mounting portions of the pick up cap are firstly insert into the corresponding chambers of the housing. The pick up cap is then rotated downwardly about an axis defined above the chambers. The latch arms deflect outwardly and finally resiliently abut against the engaging wall of the housing. Thus, the pick up cap is securely fastened on the connector.
