Abstract
A cable assembly comprises an insulative housing defining a first and second receiving room therein, and a mounting platform disposed at one side of the insulative housing. A first and second electrical connectors are respectively received into the first and second receiving rooms, the first electrical connector defines a metallic shell. At least one cable is electrically connected with the first and second electrical connectors. And a grounding piece is assembled to the mounting platform of the insulative housing and has a contacting arm received into the first receiving room and electrically contacted with the metallic shell of the first electrical connector.
Claims17
A cable assembly, comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a first and second receiving rooms therein and a mounting platform extending along a lateral direction from one side of the insulative housing;
- a first and second electrical connectors respectively received into the first and second receiving rooms, the first electrical connector including a metallic shell;
- at least one cable electrically connected with the first and second electrical connector;
- and
- a grounding piece assembled and positioned to the mounting platform, and having a contacting arm received into the first receiving room and electrically contacted with the metallic shell of the first electrical connector.
A cable assembly, comprising:
- a housing defining a pair of first receiving rooms disposed at two sides therein and a pair of second receiving rooms located between the pair of first receiving rooms, the housing further defining a pair of mounting platforms extending outward respectively from two lateral sides thereof along a transversal direction;
- a pair of first electrical connectors received into the first receiving room, a pair of second electrical connectors received into the second receiving room, each first electrical connector including a metallic shell;
- a plurality of cables electrically connected with the first and second electrical connectors;
- and
- a pair of grounding pieces assembled to the housing, each grounding piece having a body portion surrounding the mounting platform and a contacting arm extending into the first receiving room along a transversal direction and contacting with the metallic shell of the first electrical connector.
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a receiving room with an opening to communicate with an exterior along a front-to-back direction;
- a mounting platform unitarily extending from one lateral side of the housing for mounting to an external part;
- an electrical connector having a metallic shell thereon and received in the receiving room;
- and
- a grounding piece assembled to the platform;
- wherein
- said grounding piece includes an elastic arm extending inward into the receiving room and mechanically and electrically engaging the shell;
- wherein said grounding piece is configured to be assembled to the platform only along a lateral direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction.
