Abstract:
1. A cable assembly, comprising: a housing; a plurality of conductive terminals received in the housing; a metal shell enclosing the housing; a cable electrically connected to the conductive terminals and having a number of wires, a braided layer enclosing the wires and an outer insulative pin enclosing the braided layer, each wire having a conductor and an inner insulative pin enclosing the conductor, the braided layer turned back and enclosing on a surface of the outer insulative pin; and a foil enclosing the braided layer which is turned back, and sandwiched in the metal shell; wherein a receiving groove is defined in a rear end of the metal shell for receiving the foil; wherein an outer surface of the foil is attached to an inner surface of the receiving groove; wherein the metal shell defines a lower shell and an upper shell assembled on the lower shell; wherein the receiving groove is composed of a upper groove of the upper shell and a lower groove of the lower shell; wherein a front end of the lower shell is composed of a closed structure by four walls for receiving the housing; wherein a rear end of the lower shell is composed of an open structure by three walls for assembling on the upper shell; wherein at least a convex is raised on an inner lower surface of the upper shell and the lower shell, respectively; wherein the convexes of the upper shell and the lower shell sandwich the foil; wherein the cable assembly further comprises a strain relief portion molded on the outer insulative pin of the cable and located between the braided layer which is turned back and the outer insulative pin; wherein the foil encloses the strain relief; wherein the cable is a flat cable; wherein the braided layer is backwardly folded upon the strain relief, and the foil encloses the backward folded braided layer in sequence, wherein the foil and the backwardly folded braided layer, the strain relief and the cable are commonly received within the grooves of upper and lower shells.
