Dust-proof cover and electrical connector assembly using the same
First Claim
1. A dust-proof cover used for an electrical connector comprising:
- a dust-proof portion extending horizontally;
at least one inclined pushing portions disposed at one side of the dust-proof portion, the inclined pushing portion having an inclined pushing face obliquely with respect to the dust-proof portion; and
a plurality of supporting portions for supporting the dust-proof portion, wherein the inclined pushing portion is configured to be upwardly pushed by a chip module received within the electrical connector to have the dust-proof cover removed from the electrical connector;
whereinsaid supporting portions are located at two opposing lateral sides of the dust-proof cover in a transverse direction and configured to transversely abut against the electrical connector and sandwich the electrical connector therebetween to guide removal of the dust-proof cover from the electrical connector.

Abstract
An electrical connector assembly is used for connecting to a chip module. The electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector and a dust-proof cover. The electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals and a shell covering the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a second cavity for receiving the chip module. The shell defines an opening corresponding to the second cavity. The dust-proof cover includes a dust-proof portion covering the opening and a pair of inclined pushing portions protruding from the dust-proof portion to the second cavity. The dust-proof cover has a plurality of supporting portions for supporting the dust-proof portion. The supporting portions separate from the shell when the inclined pushing portion is pushed by the chip module, and the dust-proof cover separates from the electrical connector.

5. An electrical connector assembly used for connecting to a chip module, the electrical connector assembly comprising:
-
an electrical connector having an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals received in the insulative housing and a metallic shell covering the insulative housing, the insulative housing having a cavity for receiving the chip module, the shell defining an opening corresponding to the cavity; a dust-proof cover attached to the shell and having a dust-proof portion covering the opening, at least one pushing portion protruding downwardly from the dust-proof portion toward the second cavity;
whereinthe dust-proof cover has a plurality of supporting portions for supporting the dust-proof portion;
whereinwhen the dust-proof cover is associatively attached upon the shell to commonly approach the housing, the pushing portion is upwardly pushed by said chip module received within the housing of electrical connector so as to have the dust-proof cover separated from the shell;
whereinsaid supporting portions are located on two opposing lateral sides of the dust-proof cover in a transverse direction and transversely abut against the shell of the electrical connector and sandwich the shell therebetween to guide removal of the dust-proof cover from the shell of the electrical connector. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
-
an insulative housing defining an upward receiving cavity adapted to receive a chip module therein; a metallic shell pivotally connected around a rear end of the housing and defining an opening aligned with the receiving cavity in a vertical direction when the shell covers said housing so as to allow said chip module to upwardly extend without interference; and a dust-proof cover attached upon the shell and including, in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said vertical direction, a pair of front latches around a front end region and a pair of rear latches around a rear end region to respectively engage with the shell, wherein said dust-proof cover further includes at least a pushing portion extending downwardly toward the receiving cavity, and a plurality of supporting portions commonly sandwiching the shell therebetween in a transverse direction perpendicular to both said vertical direction and said front-to-back direction so as to assure stable removal of the dust-proof cover from the shell via confrontation between the pushing portion and the chip module. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
