Abstract
A cable connector assembly includes an insulative housing (1) having a number of contacts (2) received therein, a shielding member (3) enclosing the insulative housing, a printed circuit board (4) connected with tail portions of the contacts, a cable (5) connected with the printed circuit board, and a metallic shell (6) enclosing the printed circuit board. The metallic shell has a top shell (61) and a bottom shell (62) assembled to each other, and the metallic shell also defines a pair of blocking portions (625) bent from a front end thereof, the blocking portions are perpendicular to a mating direction and adjacent to a front surface of the shielding member.
Claims17
A cable connector assembly, comprising:
- an insulative housing and a plurality of contacts received therein;
- a shielding member enclosing the insulative housing;
- a printed circuit board connected with tail portions of the contacts;
- a cable connected with the printed circuit board;
- and
- a metallic shell enclosing the printed circuit board and having a top shell and a bottom shell assembled to each other, the metallic shell defining a pair of blocking portions bent from a front end thereof, the blocking portions perpendicular to a mating direction and adjacent to a front surface of the shielding member;
- wherein
- each blocking portion defines a mounting hole, the shielding member defines a pair of through holes aligning with the corresponding mounting holes, and the insulative housing has a pair of fastening holes aligning with the corresponding through holes and the mounting holes.
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a mating port;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections extending into the mating port;
- a metallic shielding member covering a front portion of the housing including said mating port;
- a pair of metallic top and bottom shells enclosing said housing except said mating port in a front-to-back direction;
- and
- a cable located behind and electrically connected to the connector;
- wherein
- said top shell and said bottom shell define a pair of blocking potions at two opposite sides of the mating port in a transverse direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction, and rearwardly abutting against two opposite ends regions of the shielding member via a pair of screws extending through the corresponding blocking portions and end regions, respectively, in said front-to-back direction.
