Abstract
A dielectric housing (10) of a cable end connector includes abase portion (40) and a tubular portion (20) engaged with the base portion. The tubular portion has a cutout (22) and defines a passageway (21) therein. The tubular portion further includes a pair of opposing wings (27) on its outer periphery. The base portion has a dam (47) formed thereon.
Claims17
A cable end connector comprising:
- an insulative housing including a base portion and a tubular portion engaged with the base portion, the tubular portion having a cutout through which a front engaging block of the base portion extends to be securely received in a bottom of the tubular portion, the tubular portion further defining a passageway and including a pair of opposing wings on its outer periphery adapted for engaging with a conductive shell, the base portion having a flat portion in rear of the engaging block, the flat portion having a dam, the dam being located outside the tubular portion;
- and
- a conductive terminal received in the passageway and having a tail portion supported on the base portion, the tail portion being adapted for electrically connection with a cable, and fitting through the dam of the base portion.
A cable end connector comprising:
- a shell including a pair of undercuts;
- a housing enclosed the shell and including a base portion and a tubular portion engaged with the base portion, the tubular portion forming a step for supporting the shell and a pair of wing;
- engaging with the undercuts of the shell respectively and defining a passageway therein;
- and
- a terminal received in the passageway and having a tail portion supported on the base portion.

An cable end connector comprising:
- a shell;
- and
- a housing at least partially enclosed by said shell, said housing including a base portion and a tubular portion, said base portion including an engaging block compliantly received within a bottom portion of the tubular portion for restricting any lateral/radial movement between said base portion and said tubular portion, a tower upwardly extending from the a flat portion of the base portion with a groove in a front-to-back direction, through which a planar tail of a terminal extends, a mating portion of said terminal disposed within the tubular portion;
- wherein said tower cooperating with the flat portion of the base portion restricting vertical movement of the terminal in the housing while the tubular portion restricts lateral movement of the terminal in the housing.
