Abstract:
A cable connector assembly adapted for mating with an external complementary connector, comprising:a plurality of power and signal contacts arranged at multi pitches, each contact having a mating portion at a free end thereof adapted for electrically contacting with a corresponding contact of the complementary connector, and a tail portion at an opposite end thereof; a cable set comprising a plurality of juxtaposed power and signal wires each having a conductive signal segment and a grounding segment insulated from the signal segment, and a conductive grounding bar firmly jointed with the grounding segments of the wires, the wires being arranged at multi pitches for being soldered corresponding contacts; a dielectric housing comprising a mating surface, a jointing surface opposite to the mating surface, a tongue plate protruding forwardly from the mating surface adapted for mating with the complementary connector, a receiving space defined in the rear thereof for receiving the grounding bar of the cable set therein, and a plurality of passageways defined therein at multi pitches in communication with the receiving space for receiving the power and signal contacts and the signal segments of the power and signal wires which are soldered together therein; and a conductive shield attached to the dielectric housing for establishing a grounding path.
