Abstract
A cable assembly comprises an insulative housing receiving a plurality of mating terminals therein, a cable extending beyond the housing and having a plurality of wires, a plurality of connecting terminals electrically terminated to the wires respectively, and an outer cover enclosing the housing and having a dustproof lid being delectably between an open position while the connecting terminals being exposed to an exterior and a closed position while the connecting terminals being covered by the dustproof lid for dustproof protection. The connecting terminals penetrate into the corresponding wires, respectively.
Claims20
A cable assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing receiving a plurality of mating terminals therein;
- a cable extending beyond the housing and having a plurality of wires;
- a plurality of connecting terminals electrically terminated to the wires, respectively;
- and
- an outer cover enclosing the housing and having a dustproof lid being deflectably disposed between an open position while the connecting terminals being exposed to an exterior and a closed position while the connecting terminals being covered by the dustproof lid for dustproof protection.
A cable assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a cavity for receiving a corresponding connector;
- a sub PCB received in the housing;
- a plurality of mating terminals received in the housing, each of the mating terminals having a mating portion exposed to the cavity and a tail portion soldered on the sub PCB;
- a plurality of connecting terminals, each including a first contact portion, and a second contact connected with the sub PCB;
- an outer cover enclosing the housing and the sub PCB, the outer cover has dustproof lid covering the connecting terminals for dustproof protection, and a compartment receiving the dustproof lid;
- and
- a cable having a plurality of wires electrically connected with the sub PCB via the connecting terminals;
- wherein the first contact portions downwardly pierce into corresponding wires respectively by an outer force and presses onto the connecting terminals while the dustproof lid is at an open position.
An electrical cable connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a mating port;
- a plurality of terminals assembled to the housing with, in a front-to-back direction, front contacting sections exposed in the mating port and rear tail portions mounted to a printed circuit board behind the housing;
- a plurality of wires extending rearward behind the printed circuit board;
- a plurality of connecting terminals located between the plurality of wires and the printed circuit board in said front-to-back direction under condition that the connecting terminals are assembled to both said printed circuit board and the corresponding wires in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction;
- and
- an outer cover enclosing front portions of the wires, the connecting terminals, the printed circuit board, and a rear portion of the housing;
- wherein
- said outer cover is equipped with a moveable dustcover to cover said connecting terminals.
