Cable connector assembly having detecting contact

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a receiving space for receiving a complementary connector;
• a plurality of passages extending in the housing along a front-to-back direction thereof;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the corresponding passages, respectively;
• at least one recess formed in the housing and located at a different level from said passages for molding consideration;
• an insulative spacer attached to a rear face of the housing and sealing the passages;
• at least one block inserted into the recess and sealing said recess;
• contact tails of said contacts extending rearwardly beyond the rear face and said spacer;
• a plurality of wires mechanically and electrically connected to the corresponding contact tails, respectively;
• and
• an insulative cover over-molded upon a rear portion of the housing and front portions of said wires to seal connection between the contact tails and the wires without contamination from an over-molding procedure thereof.

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a plurality of passages therein;
• a plurality of first contacts disposed in the corresponding passages, respectively;
• a plurality of second contacts disposed in the corresponding passages, respectively, said second contacts being arranged in several groups and the second contacts in each of said groups sharing a same enlarged tail portion, a total amount of said second contacts in each of said groups being equal to a total number of said first contacts;
• at least one first type wire connected to one of said first contacts;
• at least one second type wire connected to one of others of said first contacts;
• and
• at least one third type wire connected to one tail portion of said second contacts;
• wherein
• the first type wire, the second type wire and the third type wire are different from one another.
