A cable harness assembly is provided, which has a low profile, is shielded, and can be constructed at low cost. The assembly is of the type that includes a board (12, FIG. 2) coupled to a connector frame (14) that holds multiple contacts (52) and coupled to a cable (16), wherein insulated wires (24) of the cable run along the board and have bared front ends (50) connected at joints (74) to tails at the rear of the contacts. An underlayer (72) of electrically insulative material lies over the wire-to-tail joints and any other exposed areas of the wires and tails lying on the board, the underlayer having undulations (78, FIG. 3) that follow the contours under it. An overlayer (80, FIG. 2) of electrically conductive plastic material lies over the underlayer and the rest of the board, wires, and cable front portion. The overlayer is connected to the cable shield (30) and provides EMI/ESD shielding, provides tough mechanical holding together of the harness assembly parts, and forms the outline of the assembly rearward of the connector frame.
