Abstract
A micro coaxial cable connector assembly for contact with a mating electrical connector, includes a first and second housing means, a cable set with a plurality of cables, and a plurality of contacts. The first and second housing members are efficiently and durably retained together by means of the cooperation between a pair of channels and latch portions thereof and the interference fit of first retention sections and second retention sections of the contacts with a plurality of grooves and the passageways thereof. The cable set consists of the juxtaposed cables each having at least a signal segment and a grounding segment, and a grounding bar defined with two plates soldered with the grounding segments of the cables. Each passageway is equipped with multi-directional orientating means for convenience of soldering the signal segment of the cable with the tail section of the corresponding contact via an external tool. A method of making the cable connector assembly is introduced for convenience of the assembly.
