Connector assembly having low profile

摘要

A connector assembly ( 1000 ) comprises a cable end connector ( 100 ) soldered with a number of wires ( 3 ) and a header connector ( 200 ) which is mounted on a motherboard to mate with the cable end connector. The cable end connector comprises a housing ( 1 ) receiving a number of contacts ( 2 ) therein. The housing defines a first receiving space ( 110 a) for receiving the header connector and a second space ( 110 b) for receiving front ends of the wires. The contacts are located between the first and second spaces, and each having a soldering portion ( 21 ) and a contacting portion ( 22 ). The soldering portion of each contact has a soldering surface ( 211 ) which faces the second space to be electrically connected with corresponding wires and an inner surface ( 212 ) which opposite to the soldering surface faces the first space.
