A cable end connector includes an insulative housing (10), a terminal (40) received in the housing, a metal shell (50) enclosing the housing, and an independent thin layer insulator (1). The independent thin layer insulator is located between the housing and the metal shell for insulating the terminal from the metal shell, whereby the cable end connector achieves a good insulation function between the terminal and the metal shell.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly to a low profile cable end connector for high frequency application.
2. Description of the Prior Art
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a cable end connector according to the present invention and a coaxial cable.
FIG. 2 is an assembled view of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partial assembled, upside-down view of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, a cable end connector in accordance with the present invention comprises a dielectric housing 10, a terminal 40, a metal shell 50 enclosing the housing 10 and the terminal 40, a circular thin layer insulator 1 and a retainer 60 for securing an end portion of a coaxial cable 70 to the cable end connector.
The dielectric housing 10 comprises a base portion 30 and a tubular portion 20. The base portion 30 comprises a front circular portion 31 and a rear rectangular portion 32 extending rearwardly from the circular portion 31. A pair of engaging blocks 33 protrude laterally from the circular portion 31 to abut against the shell 50. A rearwardly exposed groove 34 is defined in a bottom of the base portion 30. The tubular portion 20 axially and upwardly projects from the front circular portion 31. A substantially rectangular passageway 21 is axially defined through the front circular portion 31 and the tubular portion 20, and communicates with the groove 34.
The terminal 40 includes a bottom portion 41 and a pair of mating wings 43. A pair of mating wings 43 extends upwardly from opposite lateral sides of the bottom portion 41 and projects toward each other for griping a mating of a complementary connector (not shown). A soldering tab 44 is bent downwardly from a rear side of the bottom portion 41. A recess 441 is defined through the soldering tab 44.
