Cable connector assembly

摘要

A cable connector assembly includes an electrical connector (1), a wire-securing element (20) and a cable (30). The connector has an insulative housing (11), a plurality of electrical contacts (130) secured therein, and a metallic shield (12). The housing has a securing portion (1192) in each of opposite side walls (119) thereof. Each securing portion includes an upper horizontal slot (1193) and a vertical slot (1194) forming a t-shaped cross. The cable includes a plurality of signal wires (31) and a pair of ground wires (33). The shield has a pair of inwardly extending fastening projections (121). A signal conductor (32) of each signal wire electrically connects with a corresponding electrical contact. A ground conductor (34) of each ground wire is located into the corresponding vertical slot. Part of the ground conductor is pressed into the corresponding horizontal slot by the corresponding fastening projection of the shield.
