Abstract
A cable connector assembly (100) in accordance with the present invention includes a metal housing (1), a terminal assembly (2) and a metal sleeve (5). The metal housing includes a mating port (11), a soldering port (12) with an opening in the center thereof and a passage formed through the mating and soldering ports. The terminal assembly is received in the passage of the metal housing and includes mating and soldering portions (21, 22) which are electrically insulated from the metal housing, the soldering portion exposed in the mating port of the metal housing, the soldering portion extending through the opening of the soldering port to be exposed by the metal housing and adapted to be soldered to a cable (3). The metal sleeve encloses a solder joint (8) between the cable and the soldering portion of the terminal assembly, a front portion (6) of the metal sleeve extends into and is soldered to the opening of the metal housing, and a rear portion of the metal sleeve engages with the cable.
