Abstract:
1. An electrical connector assembly comprising: a cable connector having a cable therein; and a jumper device retained on the cable, comprising an insulative base having a body portion mounted a jumper contact therein and a retaining portion engaging with the cable so as to keep the jumper device retaining on the cable; wherein the retaining portion comprises a first and a second coupling portions in a parallel relationship and a connecting portion connecting with the first and second coupling portions thereby defining a holding space therebetween to receive the cable therein; wherein a locking portion is formed on an inner face of the second coupling portion and protrudes into the holding space to prevent outward-movement of the cable after the cable surpasses the locking portion; wherein a guiding portion is formed at a distal end of the second coupling portion to lead the cable entering into the holding space; and wherein a recessed groove is defined between the guiding portion and the locking portion to temporarily receive the cable therein and reduce the insertion force of the cable.
