1. A cable connector assembly, comprising:
- an insulative housing and a plurality of contacts received therein;
a shielding member enclosing the insulative housing;
a printed circuit board connected with tail portions of the contacts;
a cable connected with the printed circuit board; and
a metallic shell enclosing the printed circuit board and having a top shell and a bottom shell assembled to each other, the metallic shell defining a pair of blocking portions bent from a front end thereof, the blocking portions perpendicular to a mating direction and adjacent to a front surface of the shielding member;
whereineach blocking portion defines a mounting hole, the shielding member defines a pair of through holes aligning with the corresponding mounting holes, and the insulative housing has a pair of fastening holes aligning with the corresponding through holes and the mounting holes.

13. A cable connector assembly comprising:
-
an insulative housing defining a mating port; a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections extending into the mating port; a metallic shielding member covering a front portion of the housing including said mating port; a pair of metallic top and bottom shells enclosing said housing except said mating port in a front-to-back direction; and a cable located behind and electrically connected to the connector;
whereinsaid top shell and said bottom shell define a pair of blocking potions at two opposite sides of the mating port in a transverse direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction, and rearwardly abutting against two opposite ends regions of the shielding member via a pair of screws extending through the corresponding blocking portions and end regions, respectively, in said front-to-back direction. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
