Abstract
A cable assembly (100), includes: a case (2) having a receiving room (25); two paralleled printed circuit boards (3) received into the receiving room; a terminal module 4 disposed in the receiving room and electrically connected with two front portions of two printed circuit boards and a clip (1) assembled to the terminal module. The terminal module has an upper terminal unit (41) and a lower terminal unit (42) assembled with each other in a back-to back manner and clamped with each other by the clip.
Claims17
A cable assembly for connecting with a complementary connector, comprising:
- a metallic case having a receiving room;
- a terminal module disposed in the receiving room, the terminal module having an upper terminal unit and a lower terminal unit back-to-back stacked with each other;
- a metallic clip clamped the upper terminal unit and the lower terminal unit along a vertical direction;
- and
- a cable extended into the receiving room and electrically connected with the terminal module,
- wherein the metallic clip defines a main portion surrounding the upper and lower terminal units and a pair of latching portions latching to a rear end of the terminal module.
A cable assembly, comprising:
- a case having a receiving room;
- two paralleled printed circuit boards received into the receiving room;
- a terminal module disposed in the receiving room and electrically connected with two front portions of the two printed circuit boards, the terminal module having an upper terminal unit and a lower terminal unit engaged with each other in a back-to back manner;
- and
- a metallic clip assembled to the terminal module to clamp the upper terminal unit and the lower terminal unit,
- wherein the metallic clip defines a main portion surrounding the upper and lower terminal units and a pair of latching portions latching to a rear end of the terminal module;
- wherein the case defines a body portion and a mating portion extending forwardly from the body portion, the terminal module located in the mating portion.
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- two identical terminal modules back to back stacked with each other via corresponding inner surfaces intimately facing to each other, each of said terminal modules including a plurality of contacts each defining a front contacting section and a rear mounting section;
- further including a pair of printed circuit boards located behind the two terminal modules, respectively, and facing to each other via opposite interior surfaces with an insulative spacer therebetween in a vertical direction, wherein
- in each of the said two terminal modules, the front contacting sections of said contacts are exposed upon an outer surface of the terminal module and isolated from those of the other of said two terminal modules in the vertical direction while the rear mounting sections of the contacts are mounted to the interior surface of a corresponding printed circuit board;
- a pair of covers commonly sandwiching the pair of printed circuit boards therebetween in the vertical direction;
- wherein the two terminal modules are assembled together via a metallic clip, said metallic clip defines a main portion surrounding the two terminal modules and a pair of latching portions latched to a rear of the two terminal modules.
