Abstract
A cable connector assembly includes a mating member (1), a cable (300) connected with the mating member, a strain relief member (4) enclosing on the cable and the mating member, a cover (6) enclosing on the strain relief member, and a retaining member (5) formed between the strain relief member and the cover. The strain relief member is made of a first type of plastic material, and the retaining member is made of a second type of plastic material, the second type of plastic material being harder than the first type of plastic material.
Claims18
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- a mating member;
- a cable connected with the mating member;
- a strain relief member enclosing on the cable and the mating member and made of a first type of plastic material;
- a cover enclosing on the strain relief member;
- and
- a retaining member formed between the strain relief member and the cover and made of a second type of plastic material, the second type of plastic material being harder than the first type of plastic material.
A method for manufacturing a cable connector assembly, comprising the steps of:
- connecting a mating member with a cable;
- enclosing a retaining member on the mating member along a front-to-back direction;
- molding a strain relief member in the retaining member and enclosing the strain relief member on the cable and the mating member;
- and
- enclosing a cover on the retaining member and the strain relief member along a back-to-front direction and attaching the cover on the retaining member via glue.
A cable connector assembly comprising:
- a mating member including an insulative housing having a plurality of contacts disposed therein and enclosed within a metallic shell, said mating member defining a small front section and a large rear section along a front-to-back direction;
- a cable located behind the mating member and including a plurality of wires respectively electrically connected to the corresponding contacts, respectively;
- an insulative inner mold enclosing an region about an interface of said wires and said contacts;
- and
- an insulative retaining member including a front wall with an opening through which the small front section forwardly extends snugly, and at least one lateral wall rearwardlty extending from a periphery of the front wall;
- and
- an insulative outer mold enclosing the inner mold;
- wherein
- said lateral wall is sandwiched between the outer mold and the inner mold radially.
