Abstract
A cable connector assembly for being mated with a mating connector along a mating direction, includes: a mating member, a cable electrically connected with the mating member, and a shielding shell having an end mounted on the mating member, and an opposite end mounted on the cable, the shielding shell including a first shell and a second shell mated with the first shell along a transverse direction perpendicular to the mating direction, wherein each of the first shell and the second shell has an asymmetrical structure.
Claims19
A cable connector assembly for being mated with a mating connector along a mating direction, comprising:
- a mating member;
- a cable electrically connected with the mating member;
- an inner printed circuit board connected between the mating member and the cable;
- and
- a shielding shell having an end mounted on the mating member, and an opposite end mounted on the cable, the shielding shell comprising a first shell and a second shell mated with the first shell along a transverse direction perpendicular to the mating direction;
- wherein
- each of the first shell and the second shell has an asymmetrical structure.
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- a mating member including an insulative housing retaining a plurality of contacts and enclosed within a metallic shell;
- a cable located behind the mating member in a front-to-back direction, and including a plurality of wires electrically connected to the corresponding contacts, respectively;
- and
- a metallic shielding case assembled upon a rear portion of the mating member and including a first case and a second case assembled to each other via a pair of seam structures;
- wherein
- viewed along the front-to-back direction, said pair of seam structures are roughly diagonally opposite to each other rather than in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- a mating member including an insulative housing retaining a plurality of contacts and enclosed within a metallic shell;
- a cable located behind the mating member in a front-to-back direction, and including a plurality of wires electrically connected to the corresponding contacts, respectively;
- and
- a metallic shielding case assembled upon a rear portion of the mating member and including a first case and a second case assembled to each other via a pair of seam structures;
- wherein
- viewed along the front-to-back direction, at least one of said pair of seam structures is offset, with a distance, from a front-to-back extending centerline of the cable connector assembly in a transverse direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, so as to avoid interference with an extension section which extends along the front-to-back extending centerline and located at a same level with said at least one of said pair of seam structures.
