CABLE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY HAVING AN IMPROVED SHELL CONTACTING A GROUNDING PAD OF AN INTERNAL PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

A cable connector assembly (100) comprises an insulative housing, a number of contacts (2) received in the insulative housing, a printed circuit board (3) electrically connected with the contacts, a metallic shell (4) enclosing the insulative housing, and a cable. The contacts have signal contacts and grounding contacts. The printed circuit board defines a number of first conductive pads soldering with the contacts and a number of second conductive pads. The cable is soldering with the second conductive pads of the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board also has at least one third conductive pad (33) electrically connected with the grounding contact, and the metallic shell has at least one extension portion (423) connected with the third conductive pad. The extension portion is curved and extends into a U-shaped receiving portion (422) of the metallic shell.
