Electrical connector assembly with pick up cap

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• an electrical connector for surface mounting to a printed circuit board, said electrical connector including:
• an insulative housing;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with tips vertically exposed to an exterior outside of an upper face of the housing when said connector individually stands;
• a pick-up cap mounted upon the connector and including a planar body to cover the housing and said tips, said planar body defining opposite upper and lower surfaces;
• and
• a vent essentially extending through said planar body at least prior to the mounting of the pick-up cap onto the connector;
• wherein
• said vent extends in a non-linear manner between said upper and lower surfaces so as not to directly expose said tips to the exterior in a vertical direction while still allowing air flow to pass therethrough for heat dissipation during surface mounting of the connector to the printed circuit board.
