Abstract
A cable connector assembly (1) includes an insulative housing (2) defining a number of passages (27), a number of conductive contacts (3) respectively received in the passages, a cable (5) having a number of conductors (52, 54) respectively electrically connecting with the conductive contacts, a cover (8) partially enclosing the housing, a locking member (6) assembled to the cover, and a pulling member (7). The cover forms a pair of protrusions (80) on opposite sides thereof. The locking member comprises a main body (60) facing to the cover and a pair of arms (62) respectively engaging with the protrusions. The pulling member is sandwiched between the cover and the main body of the locking member for being pulled to disengage the cable connector assembly from a complementary connector.
