Electrical connector incorporated with pick-and-place pick-up cap

An electrical connector assembly, comprising:

• a CPU (central processing unit);
• an electrical connector supporting the CPU, including:
• an insulating housing having a plurality of terminals received therein, the insulating housing including a flattened main body and peripheral sidewalls jointly defining a receiving cavity therebetween to receive the CPU, the insulating housing defining a plurality of ramp arrangement disposed on two opposite sidewalls thereof;
• and
• a pick-and-place pick-up cap having a bottom with at least a pair of latches extending therefrom to retain the CPU thereto and a plurality of releasing arms corresponding to the ramp arrangements so as to open the latches for releasing the CPU.

An electrical connector assembly for use with a CPU (Central Process Unit) comprising:

• a socket defining an upward facing receiving cavity;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections extending into the receiving cavity;
• a pick-up cap downwardly mounted to the socket and defining a downwardly facing receiving space dimensioned for snugly receiving the CPU therein, said pick-up cap further including a first latch for locking to the socket, and a second latch for latching the CPU;
• and
• a releasing arm is formed on the pick-up cap around the second latch and is positioned to be adapted to be urged by the socket and successively actuate said second latch to move for releasing the CPU therefrom to allow said CPU to be loaded into the receiving cavity when the pick-up cap containing the CPU in the receiving space is downwardly moved toward the socket.
