Abstract
A cable assembly includes an insulative housing defining a front portion and a rear portion and a plurality of terminals integrally formed with the insulative housing and extending into the front portion. A substrate is located at the rear portion and connected with the terminals. A shell assembly is attached to the insulative housing and includes a first shell enclosing the front portion and a second shell substantially enclosing the rear portion of the housing. The second shell defines a front edge having a plurality of fingers thereof interengaged with the first shell. A cable has a plurality of conductors each interconnected to the substrate with respect to the contact terminals.
Claims20
A cable assembly, comprising
- an insulative housing defining a front portion and a rear portion;
- a plurality of terminals integrally formed with the insulative housing and extending into the front portion;
- a substrate located at the rear portion and connected with the terminals;
- a shell assembly attached to the insulative housing and comprising a first metallic shell enclosing the front portion and a second metallic shell substantially enclosing the rear portion of the housing, the second metallic shell defines a front edge having a plurality of fingers thereof interengaged with the first shell;
- and
- a cable configured with a plurality of conductors each interconnected to the substrate with respect to the contact terminals.
A cable assembly, comprising
- an insulative housing defining a front portion integrally formed with a plurality of contact terminals, and a rear portion configured with a pair of arms with terminal tails extending thereto;
- a substrate supported between the pair of arms and interlocked with the terminal tails;
- a cable configured with a plurality of conductors each interconnected to corresponding rear conductive pad of the substrate;
- and
- a metallic shell assembled to the insulative housing, and including a front portion enclosing the front portion of the housing, and a rear portion interengaged with the front portion, and having a strain relief clamped to the cable.
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a mating port;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with front contacting sections exposed in the mating port and a rear tail sections in a front-to-back direction;
- a cable including a plurality of wires located behind the housing and electrically connected to the tail sections of the corresponding contacts, respectively;
- a rear metallic shell located behind the mating port of the housing and including a first strain relief structure clamping a front end region of the cable;
- and
- an insulative overmold structure integrally formed upon the front end region of the cable with a front transversely enlarged block type structure thereof, and enclosing the first strain relief structure to result in a second strain relief structure.
