Cable connector assembly

摘要

A cable connector assembly includes a connector comprising an insulative body, a number of conductive terminals received in the insulative body, and a printed circuit board (PCB) electrically connected with the conductive terminals; a cable having a plurality of core wires; and a number of electronic components disposed on the PCB. The insulative body includes a front face and a rear face opposite to the front face. The PCB has a front portion electrically connected with the conductive terminals, a rear portion electrically connected with the core wires, and a middle portion connecting the front portion and the rear portion. The rear portion has a number of first pads electrically connected with the core wires. The front portion and the middle portion are disposed in the insulative body and the rear portion is disposed outside of the insulative body.

主权项

1. A cable connector assembly comprising:
a tubular insulative housing defining a front mating space and a rear mounting space commonly extending through the housing in a front-to-back direction; a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with corresponding contacting sections around the mating space; a PCB (printed circuit board) defining a front portion, a middle portion and a rear portion in sequence along the front-to-back direction and configured to be only forwardly assembled into the mounting space via a rear face of the housing, tail sections of said contacts mechanically and electrically connected to said front portion, a plurality of electronic components mounted upon said middle portion, and a plurality of wires with exposed conductors at front ends thereof soldered upon said rear portion; wherein at least the front portion and the middle portion are both commonly protectively received in the mounting space in a condition that the tail sections of the contacts are pre-assembled to the PCB before both said contacts and said PCB are commonly assembled into the housing via said rear face.
