Abstract:
A cable connector assembly for mating with a complementary connector, comprising: a plurality of coaxial cables each having a center conductor, an insulated layer enclosing the center conductor, and a metal braiding covering the insulated layer, the center conductor, and the insulated layer and the metal braiding partially and ordinarily exposed at a tip part of the coaxial cable; a plurality of contacts each having a mating portion at a front end thereof for connecting with a corresponding contact of the complementary connector, and a pair of first claws integrally extending from a rear end of the mating portion and mechanically crimping to a corresponding center conductor for providing a signal transmission between the center conductor and the contact, and a pair of second claws integrals formed at a rear end of the contact mechanically crimping and engaging with the insulated layer for providing a reliable retention between the contact and the coaxial cable; and a grounding member electrically connected with the metal braiding of the coaxial cable, wherein the grounding member has a pair of grounding bars, the plurality of coaxial cables are arranged in a row, and wherein the pair of grounding bars separately enclose upper and bottom surfaces of the row of the coaxial cables and are soldered on the metal braiding of the coaxial cables.
