Connector and connector assembly

Abstract

A connector comprises an insulation housing, a shielding shell, an inner sheath, and an outer sheath. The shielding shell is sheathed on the insulation housing. The inner sheath is formed on the shielding shell by injection molding. The inner sheath includes a front end wrapped on the shielding shell and a retaining portion formed on the front end of the inner sheath and spaced from the shielding shell to form a gap therebetween. The outer sheath is formed on the shielding shell and the inner sheath by injection molding. The outer sheath includes an engaging portion embedded in the gap between the retaining portion and the shielding shell. The retaining portion holds the engaging portion on the shielding shell to prevent the formation of a gap between the front end of the outer sheath and the shielding shell.
