Connector assembly with improved contacts

A connector assembly adapted for electrically connecting with a complementary connector along a mating direction, comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a pair of receiving passages aligned with each other along a vertical direction perpendicular to said rusting direction;
• at least a pair of upper and lower conductive contacts arranged in said vertical direction and respectively received in corresponding receiving passages, the lower conductive contact is achieved by rotating the upper conductive contact 180 degrees;
• and wherein
• each conductive contact comprises a first contacting finger and a second contacting finger opposite to the first contacting finger, and the first and second contacting fingers are asymmetrically arranged;
• wherein
• the first contacting finger and the second contacting finger extend rearwardly from a front edge of a frame essentially along a direction opposite to the mating direction, and include inclined branches toward each other with contacting points located at different positions behind said inclined branches in said mating direction.

An electrical cable connector comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways extending through opposite front and rear faces thereof;
• said passageways being arranged in two rows;
• a support platform extending rearwardly from the rear face, a plurality of partition ribs formed on the support platform so as to form a plurality of channels aligned and communicating with the corresponding passageways, respectively;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the corresponding passageways, each of said contacts defining a horizontal tail portion extending out of the rear face and received in the corresponding channel;
• and
• a spacer including a vertical body portion with plurality of protrusions extending forwardly from a front face thereof and into the corresponding passageways, respectively;
• wherein
• said spacer further defines horizontal through slot through which the support platform extends rearwardly.
