Abstract
A cable end connector assembly (1) includes a dielectric housing (2), a plurality of contacts (3), a spacer (4), a cable (6), and a cover (5). The dielectric housing includes an upper wall (21), a lower wall (22) opposite to the upper wall, and first and second sidewalls (251, 252) connecting with the upper and lower walls. A cutout (28) is defined in the first sidewall adjacent to a rear end of the housing. The cable has a plurality of conductive cores (60) electrically connecting the contacts. The cover is over-molded with the rear end of the housing and a front end of the cable. A first lateral wall (531) of the cover is received in the cutout of the housing, and an outer surface of the first sidewall of the housing is coplanar with an outer surface of the first lateral wall.
