Abstract
A cable end connector assembly (1) includes a dielectric housing (2), a plurality of contact units (3), a plurality of wires (6), and a cover (5). The housing includes an upper wall (20), a lower wall (21), and a pair of sidewalls (251, 252) connecting the upper and lower walls. Each contact unit comprises at least one mating portion (32) and a tail portion (33) opposite to the mating portion and extending beyond a rear face of the housing. The tail portion has a U-shaped configuration. Each wire comprises a conductive core (60) received in corresponding U-shaped tail portion and soldered with the tail portion to form electrical connection therebetween. The cover is over-molded with a rear end (26) of the housing and covers front ends of the wires and the tail portions of the contact units to protect the electrical connection between the wires and the contact units.
