Abstract
A cable connector (100) in accordance with the present invention includes an insulative housing (1) defining a number of channels (13) therethrough, a number of contacts (2) assembled to the insulative housing and respectively received in the channels, a cable (5) including a number of conductors (50) respectively electrically connecting with connecting portions of the contacts to form a number of junctions, an inner mold (6) enclosing the junctions of the cable and the contacts, a magnetic ring (7) assembled to the cable, and an outer cover (8). The magnetic ring is located adjacent to the inner mold and is enclosed by the outer cover together with the inner mold.
Claims18
A cable connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a plurality of channels therethrough;
- a plurality of contacts assembled to the insulative housing and respectively received in the channels, each contact comprising a mating portion exposed in corresponding channel and a connecting portion exposed beyond the insulative housing;
- a cable comprising a plurality of conductors respectively electrically connecting with the connecting portions of the contacts to form a plurality of junctions;
- an inner mold enclosing the junctions of the cable and the contacts;
- a magnetic ring assembled to the cable;
- and
- an outer cover;
- wherein
- the magnetic ring is located adjacent to the inner mold and is enclosed by the outer cover together with the inner mold.
A method of assembling a cable connector, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an insulative housing comprising an upper wall and a lower wall each defining a row of channels;
- b) providing a plurality of contacts, each contact comprising a mating portion received in corresponding channel of the insulative housing and a connecting portion exposed beyond the insulative housing;
- c) providing a cable comprising a plurality of conductors respectively electrically connecting with the connecting portions of the contacts to form a plurality of junctions;
- d) providing an inner mold overmolding with the junctions of the cable and the contacts;
- e) providing a magnetic ring assembled to the cable and located adjacent to the inner mold;
- and
- f) providing an outer cover enclosing the inner mold and the magnetic ring.
A cable connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a mating port;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing and exposed to the mating port;
- a cable comprising a plurality of conductors split away from one another at a front end portion of the cable, and respectively electrically connecting with the contacts to form a plurality of junctions thereabouts;
- an inner mold enclosing the junctions of the cable and the contacts;
- a magnetic ring surrounding the cable behind the front end portion thereof;
- and
- a unitary outer cover;
- wherein
- the magnetic ring is located behind the inner mold while both the magnetic ring and the inner mold are enclosed by the outer cover.
