Abstract
An electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting a lamp device (2) to a printed circuit board (3) includes an insulative housing (10) having a front slot (101) and a rear slot (103), the rear slot adapted to receive a body of the lamp device. A contact terminal (11) includes a pair of separate deflectable arms (112) disposed within the front slot and adapted to clip a front end of the lamp device. An ejecting member (12) within the front slot is set for enabling the clip action of the deflectable arms of the contact terminal. A pick up device (13) is assembled onto the ejecting member, and includes a base having a planar surface for being sucked by a vacuum suction device for easy to be feed the electrical connector assembly into automated machines.

An electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting a lamp device to a printed circuit board, the electrical connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing having a front slot and a rear slot, the rear slot adapted to receive a body of the lamp device;
- a contact terminal assembled onto the insulative housing, the contact terminal having a pair of separate deflectable arms disposed within the front slot, the deflectable arms adapted to clip a front end of the lamp device so as to be in electrical contact with the lamp device;
- an ejecting member movably disposed within the front slot, the ejecting member having a pair of opposite side walls with thereon interior protrusions for enabling the deflectable arms to clip the front end of the lamp device;
- and
- a pick up device assembled onto the ejecting member, the pick up device including a base having a planar surface for being sucked by a vacuum suction device.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- an insulative housing mounted upon the printed circuit board and defining an outer cavity and an inner cavity side by side arranged with each other;
- a pair of contacts disposed in the outer cavity;
- an ejecting member moveably positioned in the outer cavity to displace the contacts;
- a pick up cap attachably covering both the outer cavity and the inner cavity.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining an outer cavity and an inner cavity side by side arranged with each other;
- a pair of contacts disposed in the outer cavity;
- an ejecting member moveably positioned in the outer cavity to deflect the contacts;
- wherein
- said ejecting member is equipped with a groove which is dimensioned to allow an electrode of a lamp device to pass therethrough, under a condition that said electrode is engageable with the pair of contacts when said ejecting member is moved to have the pair of contacts closer to each other for sandwiching the electrode therebetween;
- and a pick up cap covering both said housing and said ejecting member.
