Patent ID: 8430693

Claim:
A cable assembly, comprising an insulative housing defining a front portion and a rear portion; a plurality of terminals integrally formed in the insulative housing and extending into the front portion; a substrate with conductive pads located at the rear portion and connected with the terminals; a shell assembly attached to the insulative housing and comprising a first metallic shell enclosing the front portion and a second metallic shell substantially enclosing the rear portion of the housing and being positioned in the first metallic shell, the second metallic shell defines a front edge having a plurality of fingers thereof engaged with a rear portion of the first metallic shell; a cable configured with a plurality of conductors each interconnected to the substrate with respect to the contact terminals; wherein the front edge of the second metallic shell is outwardly and rearwards folded to form said fingers; wherein the insulative housing comprises a plate portion enclosed by the first metallic shell and a pair of cantilever arms extending rearwards from a rear edge of the plate portion to position the substrate; wherein a row of first conductive pads is located on a front edge of a bottom surface of the substrate for soldering with the tail sections of the terminals, a row of second conductive pads is located on a rear edge of a top surface of the substrate for soldering with the conductors of the cable; and wherein the pair of cantilever arms defines a pair of guide slots in opposite second surfaces thereof to engage with the substrate.
