Abstract
A cable connector assembly (100) includes a top cover (11) defining at least one first positioning post (118) extending downwardly, a bottom cover (12) being assembled to the top cover (11) in an upper-to-lower direction thereof, an electrical connector (4) including an insulative housing (40) having a plurality of terminals (41) received therein; and at least one insulator (3) cooperates with the top cover (11) and the bottom cover (12) to define a retaining space (10) to retain the electrical connector (4) therein.
Claims17
A cable connector assembly, comprising:
- a top cover defining at least one first positioning post extending downwardly therefrom, the positioning post having a positioning hole;
- a bottom cover being assembled to the top cover in an upper-to-lower direction thereof, the bottom cover having at least one second positioning post extending upwardly toward the top cover and retained into the first positioning hole of the first positioning post of the top cover;
- an electrical connector including an insulative housing, and a plurality of terminals retained in the housing;
- at least one insulator cooperating with the top cover and the bottom cover to commonly define a retaining space to retain the electrical connector, the insulator defining a retaining slot passing therethrough along the upper-to-lower direction to retain the first positioning post of the top cover therein;
- and
- a cable connected to the terminals and extending beyond the top cover an the bottom cover.
A cable connector assembly, comprising:
- a metal top cover defining at least one first position post extending downwardly therefrom;
- a metal bottom cover being assembled to the top cover in an upper-to-lower direction thereof, the bottom cover having at least one second positioning post extending upwardly toward the top cover;
- an electrical connector including an insulative housing having a plurality of terminals received therein;
- at least one insulator sandwiched between the top cover and the bottom cover along the upper-to-lower direction, the insulator cooperating with the top cover and the bottom cover to form a retaining space to retain the electrical connector therein, the insulator defining at least two retaining slots to retain the first positioning post and the second positioning post therein respectively;
- and
- a cable connected to the terminals and extending beyond the top cover and the bottom cover.
An electrical cable connector assembly comprising:
- an electrical connector including an insulative housing enclosed by a metallic shell and enclosing a plurality of contacts therein to define a mating port thereof, each of said contacts defining a front mating end exposed in the mating port and a rear mounting end in a front-to-back direction;
- a set of cable including a plurality of wires electrically connected to the rear mounting ends of the corresponding contacts, respectively;
- a pair of covers sandwiching said electrical housing and said wires therebetween in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction;
- a pair of insulators discrete from both said electrical connector and said pair of covers while being sandwiched between said covers and located on two opposite lateral sides behind the electrical connector;
- and
- a pair of screws extending respectively through the corresponding insulators in said front-to-back direction each of said screws defining a front threaded end exposable beyond a front end of the corresponding insulator when the screw is moved to a foremost position.
