Abstract: A disk-shape portion of a surface mount connector housing or a separate cap member provides an upwardly facing surface adherable by suction to a suction nozzle of a conventional, automatic, vacuum type pick-and- place assembly tool and are, respectively, either integrally joined to the connector at the mating face, by a frangible or severable portion, or releasably attached to the connector housing by resilient legs which grip the housing between them, enabling the connector to be carried into position on a circuit board by the tool.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for potteries which mixes decorative raw material liquids within a container or on a flat surface to produce natural and dreamy stripe-patterns or scroll-patterns. Such patterns are transferred to a sheet material having water absorptivity for transferring to a molded article prior to baking. When the mold is baked, the natural and dreamy stripe-patterns or scroll-patterns are applied onto the resulting pottery. The patterns produced by this method are free from creation of pin holes, bubbles and relatively large recesses.
