Micro coaxial connector assembly with latching means
First Claim
1. A connector assembly, comprising:
- a first connector comprising;
a first insulative housing comprising a mating portion defining a receiving cavity opening in a first direction, a base perpendicular to the mating portion;
a plurality of first conductive contacts each comprising a first contacting portion received in the mating portion of the insulative housing and a first soldering portion;
a plurality of leads assembled to the base, each lead comprising a conductor electrically connecting with the soldering portion of a corresponding conductive contact in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction and a metal braiding surrounding the conductor;
a plurality of solder slugs each located between the first soldering portion of the first conductive contact and the conductor of the lead to solder the first conductive contact with the conductor; and
a first 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 leads; and
a second connector comprising;
a second insulative housing comprising a shroud portion and a tongue portion received in the receiving cavity of the first insulative housing;
a plurality of second conductive contacts respectively received in the second insulative housing and each comprising a second contacting portion electrically connecting with the first contacting portion of a corresponding first conductive contact and a second soldering portion adapted for being mounted to a printed circuit board; and
a second grounding member enclosing the shroud portion of the second insulative housing, said second grounding shield of the first grounding member comprising a body portion and a vertical portion extending vertically from the body portion in said first direction and exerting a pressing force on the second grounding member in said second direction.

Abstract
A connector assembly (100) includes a first connector (200) and a second connector (300). The first connector includes a first housing (1) including a mating portion (10) opening in a first direction, a number of first contacts (2), a number of leads (3) electrically connecting with the first contacts in a second direction, and a first grounding member (5) including a first grounding shield (50) and a second grounding shield (52) electrically connecting with each other. The second grounding shield includes a second body portion (520) and a second vertical portion (526) extending from the second body portion in the first direction. The second connector includes a second housing (7), a number of second contacts (72), a second grounding member (9) enclosing the second housing, and a second pulling member (8). The second vertical portion of the second grounding shield exerts a pressing force on the second grounding member in the second direction and is circled by the second pulling member.
