Cable assembly having improved insulative holding device and method for making the same

A method of manufacturing a cable assembly, comprising:

• providing a cable comprising a plurality of conductors, a conductive sheath shrouding the conductors and an insulative sheath shrouding the conductive sheath;
• dilacerating a segment of the insulative sheath, exposing a front portion of the conductive sheath and the conductors to the outerside;
• insert molding the insulative sheath and the conductors with insulative material to form an insulative holding device, and exposing the front portion of the conductive sheath on the outside of the insulative holding device;
• bending the front portion of the conductive sheath backwardly and outwardly of the insulative holding device to form a grounding portion;
• providing an interior printed circuit board comprising a plurality of conductive pads, soldering the conductors on the conductive pads.

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• a shell defining a front rectangular recess and a rear roughly round columnar recess smaller than said rectangular recess;
• a cable defining a plurality of inner wires, a conductive sheath enclosing said wires, and an insulative sheath enclosing said conductive sheath;
• and
• an insulative holding device including uniformed front rectangular portion and rear round columnar portion via a one step overmolding procedure around a front segment of the insulative sheath;
• wherein
• a front portion of the conductive sheath extends out of the rear round columnar portion of the insulative holding device and extending along a circumference of the insualtive holding device axially and backwardly;
• a conductive strip wrapping the backwardly extending conductive sheath and along with the rear round columnar portion commonly disposed in the rear roughly round columnar recess while the front rectangular portion being received in the rectangular recess.
