A cable assembly includes a cable module including a first metallic strip integrally formed with an insulative bar via a first insert-molding process; and a second metallic strip integrally formed with the insulative bar via a second-molding process following the first insert-molding process. The second metallic strip includes plural pairs of contacts originally connected thereto via corresponding linking portions. The insulative bar forms a plurality of openings and the first metallic strip forms a plurality of corresponding punching openings respectively aligned with each other and further aligned with the corresponding linking portions, respectively, in a transverse direction so as to remove the corresponding linking portions after the second insert-molding process.

Cable assembly with insert-molded lead-frame assembly

A cable assembly includes: a cable module including plural cables, a ground bar electrically connected to the cables, signal contacts electrically connected to the cables, and a shielding sheet shielding the signal contacts; a housing holding the cable module; and a pair of side plates coupled to the ground bar and the shielding sheet.

Cable assembly with shielding and grounding features attached to a pair of side plates

A cable connector includes a contact module, wires and grounding bars. The contact module includes a pair of subunits commonly sandwiching a metallic shielding plate. Each subunit includes contacts integrally formed within an insulator, the contacts includes a plurality of differential-pair contacts and grounding contacts alternately arranged with each other. Each contact includes a front contacting section and a rear tail section, the tail sections of the grounding contacts being unified with a transverse bar. Each wire has a pair of inner conductors respectively soldered to the tail sections of the corresponding differential-pair contacts, and an outer braiding layer surrounding the pair of inner conductors and mechanically and electrically connected to the transverse bar. Each grounding bar includes a plurality of rear tabs respectively connected to the braiding layers, and a plurality of front tabs respectively connected to the tail sections of the corresponding grounding contacts.

Electrical connector assembly including matable board connector and cable connector with improved grounding bar

An angled type connector assembly includes a receptacle connector mounted upon a printed circuit board and having an insulative housing with an oblique opening to receive a plug connector, and a bottom opening through which the mating pads on the printed circuit board is upwardly exposed. The plug connector includes two rows of contacts respectively mechanically and electrically connected to the corresponding two rows of wires. The plug connector forms an oblique mating end or interface relative to an extending direction of the plug, on which the contacting sections of the contacts are exposed to mate with the corresponding mating pads on the printed circuit board.
