Patent ID: 6887104

Claim:
A cable end connector assembly adapted for mating with a complementary electrical connector, comprising: a dielectric housing defining a plurality of passageways extending in a front-to-back direction and comprising an upper wall, a lower wall opposite to the upper wall, and a pair of sidewalls connecting the upper and lower walls, a receiving space being defined by the upper wall, the lower wall and the pair of sidewalls and communicating with the passageways and adapted for receiving a mating portion of the complementary connector; a plurality of contact units respectively received in the passageways, each contact unit comprising three mating portions at one end thereof partially exposed into tho receiving specs and adapted for electrically connecting the complementary connector, and a tail portion connected to the three mating portions and extending beyond a rear face of the housing, wherein the tail portion has a U-shaped configuration; a plurality of wires extending in said front-to-back direction and each comprising a conductive core received in and soldered with the U-shaped tail portion of a corresponding contact unit to form electrical connection therebetween; and a cover over-molded with a rear end of the housing and coveting front aids of the wires and the tail portion of the contact units to protect the electrical connection between the wires and the contact units; further comprising, a spacer received in the rear end of the dielectric housing for preventing the melted plastic material of the cover from entering into the dielectric housing.
