Abstract
A cable end connector assembly (1) includes an insulative housing (2), a number of electrical contacts (6) received in the insulative housing, a cable (4) electrically terminated with the electrical contacts, a cover (3) assembled to the insulative housing, and a pull tab (5). The insulative housing includes a first wall (224) and a second wall (226) opposite to the first wall. Each of the first and the second walls forms a pair of protrusions (24) on a pair of ends thereof. Each protrusion defines a recess (240) therein. The pull tab is assembled to the insulative housing and includes a pulling section (50) and a pair of fastening sections (52). Each fastening section comprises a pair of branches (51) respectively received in the pair of recesses of the insulative housing.
Claims18
A cable end connector assembly, comprising:
- an insulative housing comprising a first wall, a second wall opposite to the first wall, and a pair of protrusions on each of the first and the second walls;
- a plurality of electrical contacts received in the insulative housing;
- a cable electrically terminated with the electrical contacts;
- and
- a pull tab assembled to the insulative housing and comprising a pulling section and a pair of fastening sections each forming a pair of posts respectively engaging with the pair of protrusions of the insulative housing.
A cable end connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining two opposite end sections thereof along an lengthwise direction thereof;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing;
- a flat cable engaged with the contacts;
- an insulative cover cooperating with the housing to sandwich the flat cable therebetween;
- a pull tab located above the cover and defining a pair of bifurcate fastening sections at two opposite ends thereof respectively latchably engaged with said two opposite end sections, each of said fastening sections including a pair of spaced branches commonly straddling above the cover while respectively received in a corresponding pair of openings in the housing;
- wherein
- said pair of openings are located in opposite sides of the housing along a lateral direction perpendicular to said lengthwise direction.
A cable end connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing having two opposite end sections;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing;
- a flat cable engaged with the contacts;
- an insulative cover cooperating with the housing to sandwich the flat cable therebetween;
- a pull tab located above the cover and defining a pair of fastening sections at two opposite ends thereof respectively latchably engaged with said two opposite end sections, each of said fastening sections including at least a tip post received in a corresponding opening in the housing;
- said housing further including a recess in communication with the opening and facing toward the pull tab;
- wherein
- the tip post is initially rotated to be compliantly oriented with the recess for insertion and successively rotatably resumes to a original radial position for reception in the opening while avoiding withdrawal from the recess.
