Abstract
A cable connector assembly (1) includes an electrical connector (20) having a metallic shell (21), a cable (60) electrically connecting with the electrical connector, an insulative enclosure (10) having a mounting face (101) and surrounding the electrical connector and the cable with the metallic shell partially extending beyond the mounting face, at least one mounting member (30) located in the insulative enclosure and being on one side of the electrical connector, a conductor (50) having two ends soldered with the metallic shell and mounting member respectively, and at least one fastener (40) used to engage with the mounting member for retaining the cable connector assembly to a grounding panel (70) and electrically connecting the mounting member and the grounding panel.
Claims5
A cable connector assembly for being mounted to a grounding panel, comprising:
- an electrical connector comprising a metallic shell;
- a cable electrically connecting with the electrical connector;
- an insulative enclosure surrounding the electrical connector and the cable;
- a mounting member located in the insulative enclosure and on one side of the electrical connector;
- a conductor soldered to the metallic shell and the mounting member respectively for electrically connecting the metallic shell and the mounting member;
- and
- a fastener engaged with the mounting member and electrically connecting with the metallic shell by way of the mounting member and the conductor;
- wherein the mounting member is a metallic nut;
- wherein the fastener is a metallic bolt;
- wherein the fastener attaches to the corresponding mounting member and abuts against the grounding panel, the fastener and the mounting member being located by opposite sides of the grounding panel;
- wherein the conductor is a wire;
- wherein the conductor is protectively embedded in the insulative enclosure;
- and
- wherein the grounding panel, against which the insulative enclosure abuts and from which a front portion of the metallic shell forwardly extend.
