High-speed low profile cable assembly with improved EMI shielding

摘要

A cable assembly (1) includes a multi-wire cable (10) and an electrical connector. The connector comprises an insulative housing (20) having a plurality of terminals (21) electrically connected with wires of the cable and a metallic shielding (30) attached to the housing. The shielding has a first portion (31) and a second portion (32) coupled with each other to form a space for accommodating the housing. The first portion has a locking portion (316) extending therefrom for securing the shielding to a EMI shielding in the cable, and the second portion has an opening (3242) formed at a middle portion of one side wall (324) thereof for leading the cable into the space and establishing electrical connection with terminals in the housing.
