Cable end connector assembly and the method of making the same

A cable end connector assembly adapted for mating with a complementary connector, comprising:

• a dielectric housing defining a receiving apace in a front-to-back direction thereof adapted for receiving a mating portion of the complementary connector;
• a plurality of contacts received in the dielectric housing;
• a spacer assembled to a rear end of the housing;
• a plurality of wires extending in said front-to-back direction and each comprising a conductive core electrically connecting whit corresponding contact;
• and
• a cover over-molded with the rear end of the housing and front ends of the wires to protect the electrical connection between the wires and the contacts, wherein the spacer seals the rear end of the housing and prevent melted plastic material from entering into the housing when molding.

A method of making a cable end connector, comprising:

• providing an insulative housing with a plurality of passageways extending in a front-to-back direction;
• inserting a plurality of contacts into the corresponding passageways with thereof a plurality of tail sections exposed out of a rear portion of the housing;
• assembling a spacer to the rear portion of the housing to segregate the tail sections from the corresponding passageways, respectively, in said front-to-back direction;
• providing a cable extending in said front-to-back direction with a plurality of wires having inner conductive cores, respectively;
• soldering front portions of the conductive cores to the corresponding tail sections, respectively;
• and
• overmolding said rear portion of said housing and a front portion of the cable to enclose said spacer, said tail sections and the front portions of said conductive cores.
