Low profile cable connector

A cable connector comprising:

• an insulating housing comprising a mating portion defining a mating cavity and an assembling portion defining a receiving room;
• a contact comprising a pair of connecting portions received in the receiving room and a contacting portion extending into the mating cavity;
• a cable comprising an inner conductor for connecting the connecting portion of the contact;
• and
• a shell comprising a back portion assembled upon the assembling portion of the insulating housing;
• wherein
• the insulating housing comprises a pair of elastic arms obliquely extending into the receiving room in a face-to-face manner with two free ends extending close to each other while the back portion comprises a pair of pushing portion extending into the receiving room, the distance between two inner sides of the two pushing portions is more than the distance between two outer sides of the two free ends but less than the distance between two outer sides of the other ends of the elastic arms opposite to the free ends.

A connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a mating port extending along a first direction to communicate with an exterior via a front opening, and a connecting portion communicating with the first mating port and extending along a second direction perpendicular to said first direction;
• a conductive contact defining a contacting section disposed in the mating port and a connecting section disposed in the connecting port;
• said contact being configured to be assembled into the housing via a rear face of the housing opposite to said front opening along the first direction;
• wherein
• the housing further includes unitarily a resilient locking arm, which is deflectable in a third direction perpendicular to said first direction to allow the contact to be initially assembled into the housing via said rear face along the first direction, and finally locked in position in the housing without backward moving.
