Abstract:
1. A cable assembly, comprising: an insulated housing defining a cavity portion along a longitudinal direction; a first contact module including a first insulator combined with a plurality of first contacts, each of the first contacts having a mating portion extending beyond a front surface of the first insulator and a tail portion disposed outside a back surface of the first insulator; a second contact module including a second insulator combined with a plurality of second contacts, each of the second contacts having a mating portion extending beyond a front surface of the second insulator and a tail portion disposed outside a back surface of the second insulator; the first insulator overlapped with the second insulator, with each of the mating portions of the first contacts disposed into a corresponding gap between two adjacent mating portions of the second contacts, and the tail portions of the first contacts spaced apart from the tail portions of the second contacts; and the first and second contact modules inserted into the cavity portion of the insulated housing, with the mating portions of the first contacts and the second contacts extending into a mating port of the insulated housing, and the tail portions of the first and second contacts disposed outside of the cavity portion of the insulated housing and adapted for soldering to wires.
