Cable connector assembly with an improved grounding structure
First Claim
1. A cable connector assembly, comprising:
- a cable set having a plurality of wires surrounded by a shielding braid, wherein at least one wire is a grounding wire which connects with the shielding braid and at least one wire is a signal wire; and
an electrical connector electrically connected to the cable set, comprising a dielectric housing with a plurality of channels defined therethrough, a shell covering the housing and a plurality of terminals received in the channels of the housing to electrically contact with corresponding signal wires of the cable set;
wherein a grounding wire is soldered to a soldering tab formed on the shell.

Abstract
A cable connector assembly (100) includes a cable set (5) and an electrical connector (8). The cable set has a plurality of signal wires (52) and a grounding wire (51), surrounded by a shielding braid (50). The connector has a dielectric housing (1) with a plurality of terminals (4) mounted therein, an upper shell (2) and a lower shell (3) defining a receiving space (30) for receiving the housing therein. The upper shell comprises a rectangular panel (24), a collarlike strip (23) connecting to the rectangular panel, and a pair of side panels (21). The lower shell includes a top plate (33), a bottom plate (34) and side plates (31) each defining a soldering tab (312) thereon. The grounding wire is soldered to a soldering tab and the signal wires are soldered to corresponding terminals. The strip is crimped to the cable set.

10. A cable connector assembly comprising:
-
a cable set having a plurality of wires surrounded by a shielding braid, at least one of said wires being a grounding wire and the others being the signal wires;
an electrical connector electrically connected to the cable set, said connector including an dielectric housing with a plurality of terminals therein, a shell enclosing said housing and forming a soldering tab thereon;
all the signal wires being soldered to the corresponding terminals and said at least one grounding wire soldered to said soldering tab, and no soldering points being exposed once the shell is completely assembled to said housing; and
an insulative cover being inject-molded unto said shell without damaging the soldering points in said shell.
