Abstract
A cable connector assembly includes an electric connector having an insulating body, a first terminal group, a second terminal group, a latch member, and a first metal shell; and a second metal shell partially wrapping the periphery of a first metal shell. The first and second terminal groups have first and second ground terminals. The latch member is arranged in the insulating body and located between the first and second terminal groups. The latch member has a backward elastic arm partially protruding out of the insulating body. Both the first and second ground terminals are in electric contact with the latch member. The second metal shell has a cable-clamping portion for fixing a cable. The elastic arm elastically urges against the second metal shell.
Claims20
A cable connector assembly for being plugged in a receptacle connector, comprising:
- an electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulating body;
- a first terminal group and a second terminal group respectively received in the insulating body and arranged in an upper row and a lower row, wherein the first terminal group comprises at least one first ground terminal, and the second terminal group comprises at least one second ground terminal;
- a latch member disposed in the insulating body and located between the first terminal group and the second terminal group, wherein the latch member comprises a pair of latch arms extending forward and received in the insulating body and at least one elastic arm extending backward and partially protruding out of the insulating body, the latch arms are configured to latch the receptacle connector, and both the at least one first ground terminal and the at least one second ground terminal are in electrical contact with the latch member;
- and
- a first metal shell wrapping a periphery of the insulating body, wherein the elastic arm protrudes backward out of the first metal shell;
- a cable for electrical contacting with the first terminal group and the second terminal group;
- and
- a second metal shell, partially wrapping the periphery of the first metal shell and comprising a cable-clamping portion for fixing the cable, wherein the at least one elastic arm elastically urges against the second metal shell.
A cable connector assembly for electrically connecting with a receptacle connector, comprising:
- an electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulating body;
- a plurality of signal terminals received in the insulating body for electrically contacting with the receptacle connector;
- a ground assembly, received in the insulating body and partially protruding out of a rear end of the insulating body;
- and
- a first metal shell wrapping a periphery of the insulating body;
- a second metal shell, partially wrapping a periphery of the first metal shell and comprising a cable-clamping portion, wherein the ground assembly elastically urges against the second metal shell;
- and
- a cable fixed by the cable-clamping portion, wherein the cable comprises a plurality of signal wires and at least one ground wire, the signal wires respectively contact with the signal terminals, and the ground wire is in electrical contact with at least one of the ground assembly and the second metal shell.
