Abstract

A pickup cap for an electrical connector is disclosed. The pickup cap may include a planar body portion and a plurality of opposing legs extending from a side of the body portion. A respective friction pad may extend from each leg. The friction pads may be received into complementary slots in the housing of an electrical connector. Friction between the friction pads and walls that define the slots may be sufficient to secure the pickup cap to the connector. The planar body portion may include a pickup portion. When the pickup cap is received into the connector housing, the legs may bow slightly. The pickup portion, however, may remain generally planar, and generally parallel to the mating plane defined by the vertical connector, even when the pickup cap is fully inserted into the connector housing.
