CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH FIRM STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE SAME

摘要

A connector assembly includes a housing, a metal shell, plural terminals, a cable, an inner member, and an outer boot. The inner member comprises a dispensing groove and at least one receiving groove, and a bonding material is received in the dispensing groove and in one or more of the at least one receiving groove. A method of manufacturing a connector assembly comprises the steps of: providing a housing; soldering a cable to the housing; enclosing a metal shell to cover the housing; molding an inner member on cable to comprise a dispensing groove and at least one receiving groove behind the dispensing groove; setting an outer boot along a front-to-back direction onto the metal shell; and depositing a bonding material in the dispensing groove and pushing the outer boot forwardly across the dispensing groove and the at least one receiving groove until covering the whole inner member.
