Abstract:
1. A cable assembly comprising: an insulative housing having a body portion and a mating portion extending forward from a front side of the body portion along a mating direction, the body portion forming a supporting portion protruding rearward and extending along a transversal direction thereof; a plurality of contacts disposed in the insulative housing with front contacting sections exposed in the mating section and rear tails opposite to the front contacting sections; a printed circuit board stood within the supporting portion and electrically and mechanically connected with the tails of the contact; a cable connected to a free end of the printed circuit board; a cover assembled onto the insulative housing to enclose said printed circuit board therein; and an enclosing member which comprises a vertical wall and an upper and lower walls enclosing a receiving cavity for accommodating the cable, the upper and lower walls respectively form an aperture for locking with the protrusions formed on the cable; wherein the body portion forms a first flange and a second flange at each vertical ends, respectively, said supporting portion is located above the second flange and far away from the first flange, an upper edge of the printed circuit board is under the first flange while a lower edge of the printed circuit board abuts against the supporting portion thereby the height of the cable assembly in a vertical direction is not changed by the printed circuit board; wherein the cover comprises a vertical wall and a pair of top and bottom walls at opposite ends thereof, said top and bottom walls respectively define a slot running along the transversal direction, therefore the cover is assembly on to the insulative housing along the transversal direction and the first and second flanges of the body portion are respectively received in the corresponding slots; wherein the cover is assembled onto the insulative housing from an end of the body portion opposite to the position of the enclosing member, then the cover slides along the transversal direction until the enclosing member is finally received in the cover.
