Patent ID: 7147512

Claim:
A connector assembly comprising: a cable having at least two pair of wires; an organizer having a pair of organizer-halves stacked together and arranged in mirror-image, each organizer-half defining at least a pair of passageways receiving corresponding wires of the cable therein, thereby arranged the wires into an upper row and a lower row; a presser having a pair of presser-halves attached to the organizer-halves of the organizer and pushing each of the wire into corresponding passageways; and a printed circuit board having at least a circuit trace on top and bottom surfaces thereof, each of the circuit traces electrically connected to corresponding wire of the cable; wherein each of the organizer-halves has at least a bulge portion and a recessed portion, the bulge portion of one organizer-half press-fitting into the recessed portion in the other organizer-half to hold the organizer-halves together; wherein each organizer-half has a first wall and an opposite second wall, and wherein said bulge portion is formed on the first wall, and the second wall is slotted to form a plurality of partitions; wherein each of the presser-halves has a body and a plurality of slices generally extending vertically from the body, and wherein each organizer-half of the organizer defines a plurality of slots for receiving the slices; wherein each of the presser-halves further has at least a pair of legs extending outwardly from sides of the body, and wherein the legs are respectively connected with grounding traces of the printed circuit board; wherein; wherein the signal conductor of the wire is electrically connected to signed circuit traces of the printed circuit board, while the grounding conductor of the wire is electrically connected to the printed circuit board via the legs of the presser which is electrically connected to the grounding circuit traces of the printed board.
