Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector and a pick up cap. The connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts received in the housing, a stiffener being able to support and secure the housing, and a metal clip. The housing defines a conduction region for supporting a central processing unit (CPU). The clip is disposed on the housing to press the CPU upon the contacts. The pick up cap provides a smooth flat portion facilitating to be sucked by a vacuum suction device, thereby manipulating the electrical connector assembly on a desire location of a substrate circuit such as a printed circuit board (PCB). The pick up cap attaches to the stiffener, and the pick up cap covers at least a portion of the clip. Thus, user must take away the pick up cap before mounted the CPU to the connector.
