Low profile cable connector assembly with grounding shield
First Claim
1. A cable connector adapted for electrical connection with a complementary connector and a mating cable set, comprising:
- a dielectric housing having a tongue plate;
a plurality of contacts received in the housing, each contact including a mating portion at a free end adapted for electrically contacting with the complementary connector and a tail portion at an opposite end adapted for electrically contacting with the mating cable set;
a shell enclosing the housing; and
a grounding bar attached to the housing and enclosing the tongue plate and electrically connecting with the shell for cooperatively fulfilling Electro Magnetic Interference requirement.

Abstract
A cable connector assembly (100) includes a first connector member (1) and a second connector member (2). The first connector member includes a first housing (13), a number of first contacts (14) received in the first housing and a first shell (11) enclosing the first housing. The first housing has a tongue plate (133). A grounding bar (12) attaches to the first housing and encloses the tongue plate. The second connector member includes a second housing (22), a number of second contacts (23) received in the second housing to electrically contacting with the first contacts and a second shell (21) enclosing the second housing. A room (24) is reserved between the second housing and the second shell adapted for receiving the tongue plate enclosed with the grounding bar of the first housing.

3. A cable connector assembly adapted for mounting in a printed circuit board, comprising:
-
a first connector member adapted for electrical connection with a mating cable set, comprising;
a first dielectric housing having a tongue plate at front side;
a plurality of first contacts received in the first housing, each first contact including a mating portion at a free end and a tail portion at an opposite end adapted for electrically contacting with the mating cable set;
a first shell enclosing the housing; and
a grounding bar attached to the first housing and enclosing the tongue plate adapted for cooperatively fulfilling Electro Magnetic Interference requirement;
a second connector member adapted for electrically connection with the first connector, comprising;
a second dielectric housing;
a plurality of second contacts received in the second housing, each second contact having a contacting portion at a free end adapted for electrically contacting with a mating portion of a corresponding first contact of the first housing;
a second shell enclosing the second housing, a room reserved between the second housing and the second shell adapted for receiving the tongue plate with the grounding bar, thereby establishing a grounding path from the mating cable set to the printed circuit board. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
-
a first connector including;
a first insulative housing including a downwardly extending tongue plate;
a plurality of first contacts disposes in the first housing;
a first metallic shell enclosing the first housing, said metallic shell vertically cooperating with the tongue plate to define an opening for receiving an electronic part having means mechanically and electrically connecting the first contacts;
a second connector coupled to the first connector including;
a second insulative housing mated with the first housing;
a plurality of second contacts disposed in the second housing and mated with the corresponding first contacts, respectively;
a second metallic shell enclosing said second housing and horizontally cooperating with said second housing to define aside a space receiving the downwardly extending tongue plate and corresponding portions of the first metallic shell therein. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
