Micro coaxial cable connector assembly with improved contacts
First Claim
1. A micro coaxial cable connector assembly, comprising:
- an insulative housing comprising a mating portion defining a receiving cavity opening in a first direction, a base perpendicular to the mating portion and defining a plurality of canals;
a plurality of conductive contacts each comprising a contacting portion received in the mating portion of the insulative housing and a soldering portion received in a corresponding canal, the soldering portion forming an extrusion exposed beyond the canal;
a plurality of wires assembled to the base, each wire comprising a conductors extending into a corresponding canal in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction and a metal braiding surrounding the conductor;
a plurality of solder slugs each received in a corresponding canal and located between the soldering portion of the conductive contact and the conductor of the wire, the solder plugs melting upon heating the extrusions of the soldering portions to solder the conductive contacts with the conductors together; and
a grounding member comprising a first grounding shield assembled to the mating portion in said first direction and a second grounding shield assembled to the base in said second direction, the first and the second grounding shields being electrically connected with each other and electrically connecting with the metal braidings of the wires.

Abstract
A cable connector assembly (1) includes an insulative housing (2), a number of contacts (3), a number of wires (5), a number of solder slugs (8) and a grounding member (6). The housing includes a mating portion (21) defining a receiving cavity (22) opening in a first direction, and a base (20) perpendicular to the mating portion and defining a number of canals (222). Each contact includes a pair of contacting portions (30) and a soldering portion (32) received in the canal and forming an extrusion (320) exposed beyond the canal. The solder slugs are received in the canals. The grounding member includes a first grounding shield (60) assembled to the mating portion in the first direction and a second grounding shield (62) assembled to the base in the second direction. The solder slugs melt upon heating the extrusions of the soldering portions to solder the contacts with the wires.

14. A cable connector assembly comprising:
-
a metallic shell;
an insulative housing received in the shell, said housing including a mating port defining a receiving cavity, and a base being far away from the mating port and defining a plurality of canals extending along a first direction, said canals communicating with an exterior in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction before said shell and said housing are assembled together;
a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, each of said contacts defining a solder portion located around and aligned with the corresponding canal in the second direction, a protrusion formed on the solder portion extending toward the exterior along said second direction; and
a plurality of wires connected to the corresponding contacts, respectively, each of said wires including an inner conductor received in the corresponding canal and in alignment with the solder portion of the corresponding contact in said second direction;
whereina solder slug is provided between every pair of the solder portion and the inner conductor under a condition that said slug is melted to combine said pair of solder portion and the inner conductor by heat which is closely applied to the protrusion of the corresponding contact. - View Dependent Claims (15)
