The insulative housing defines a L-shaped receiving space (23). The contacts are received in the insulative housing, each contact comprises a mating portion, a retention portion, and a tail portion extending rearwardly and downwardly from the retention portion. The cable comprises an insulative jacket and a number of conductive cores extending upwardly beyond an upper end of the insulative jacket and connecting with the tail portions of the contacts. A cover is over-molded with the rear portion of the insulative housing and the cable. A method for making such a cable end connector assembly is also disclosed.
