ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly is provided with a suction platform having a suction surface on one side and pin receiving pipes extending on the other side for mounting onto contact pins of the connector assembly. The pipes are provided with pin receiving cavities that have a cross-sectional profile slightly twisted with respect to the square profile of the pin contacts such that insertion of the pin contacts thereinto causes resilient torsional biasing of the pipes, thereby causing sufficient frictional forces therebetween for picking of the connector assembly via the support platform. Advantageously the suction platform does not depend on the shape of the connector, but rather only on the size and pitch of the pins therefore enabling use for different connectors. Additionally, the suction platform is well adapted for compact connectors that are difficult to hold onto otherwise.
