Abstract
A micro coaxial cable connector assembly for contact with a mating electrical connector, includes a first and second housing members, a cable set with a plurality of cables, an upper and lower shield members, and a plurality of contacts. The cable set consists of the cables each having at least a signal segment and a grounding segment, and a grounding bar soldered with the grounding segments of the cables. The upper and lower shield members attached onto the first housing member are engagingly jointed with each other and electrically contact with a shield member of the mating connector. Meanwhile, the upper shield member further forms a plurality of spring fingers further extending inside the first housing member to electrically engage with the grounding bar of the cable set received therein. Therefore, a grounding path from the cables to the mating connector can be fully established.
