Abstract: A releasable pick-up device (30) for assisting in positioning an electrical connector (1) on a circuit board by a vacuum-suction nozzle, comprises a rectangular plate (31) having a flat upper surface (311) to be manipulated by the nozzle and an opposite lower surface (312), and a pair of retaining portions (32) extending from opposite transverse sides of the plate. Each retaining portion forms a pair of downwardly projecting legs (320) having a pair of respective retaining feet (321) formed at free ends thereof and protruding in directions opposite to each other.

Abstract: A low profile smart card system comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) and a smart card connector assembly mounted to the PCB. The connector assembly comprises an L-shaped insulative housing, a number of sickle-shaped contacts and first and second switch terminals retained in the housing by way of insertion molding. Mating portions of the contacts and the switch terminals extend above a mating face of the housing. The housing forms several stands-off in a mounting face thereof. The PCB defines a receiving portion in accordance with shape of the connector assembly such that the connector assembly is swamped in the PCB with the stands-off thereof abutting against a bottom face of the PCB thereby obtaining a low profile above the PCB.
