Cable connector assembly

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• a tubular insulative housing defining a front mating space and a rear mounting space commonly extending through the housing in a front-to-back direction;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with corresponding contacting sections around the mating space;
• a PCB (printed circuit board) defining a front portion, a middle portion and a rear portion in sequence along the front-to-back direction and configured to be only forwardly assembled into the mounting space via a rear face of the housing, tail sections of said contacts mechanically and electrically connected to said front portion, a plurality of electronic components mounted upon said middle portion, and a plurality of wires with exposed conductors at front ends thereof soldered upon said rear portion;
• wherein
• at least the front portion and the middle portion are both commonly protectively received in the mounting space in a condition that the tail sections of the contacts are pre-assembled to the PCB before both said contacts and said PCB are commonly assembled into the housing via said rear face.
