Patent ID: 7914322

Claim:
A cable connector assembly comprising: a cable connector and a wire module fixed in the cable connector, the cable connector comprising: an insulative housing having a rear base portion, a mating portion extending forwardly from the base portion and a plurality of passageways extending through the base portion and the mating portion, the base portion defining a mounting chamber, a bottom surface positioned at the bottom of mounting chamber and a plurality of longitudinal ribs formed on the bottom surface while extending upwardly beyond the bottom surface; and a plurality of contacts retained in the passageways, each contact comprising a contact portion disposed on the mating portion and a soldering tail disposed on the base portion under a condition that each adjacent two soldering tails are separated by one of the ribs along a transverse direction; the wire module comprising: a grounding bar received in the mounting chamber; and a plurality of wires fixed in the grounding bar and comprising central conductive cores protruding forwardly beyond the grounding bar to electrically connect with the soldering tails for signal transmission; wherein the longitudinal ribs are provided for preventing short circuit of the soldering tails when the soldering tails are soldered with the corresponding conductive cores; and wherein a space between adjacent edges of the adjacent two soldering tails is much bigger than a width of the corresponding rib which is located between the adjacent two soldering tails; wherein the base portion comprises a plurality of protrusions aligning with the corresponding ribs under a condition that each protrusion is much higher and wider than the rib which connects with the protrusion.
