Abstract
A cable connector for connecting a plurality of coaxial cables to a printed circuit board comprises an insulative housing mounted on a printed circuit board, a plurality of signal terminals, a grounding terminal and a snap cover secured on the housing. The housing defines a plurality of first receiving portions for receiving the coaxial cables. Each signal terminal comprises a solder portion soldered on the printed circuit board and a contact portion extending into the corresponding first receiving portion of the housing. The grounding terminal received in the housing comprises a plurality of solder sections soldered to the printed circuit board and a plurality of tabs extending into the first receiving portions for connecting with metal braids of the coaxial cables, establishing grounding connections. The snap cover defines a plurality of second receiving portions corresponding to the first receiving portions of the housing. The coaxial cables are clamped between the first receiving portions and the second receiving portions thereby pressing conductors of the coaxial cables to contact the contact portion of corresponding signal terminals and preventing displacement of the coaxial cables from the cable connector.
