Abstract
A cable connector assembly (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a plurality of contacts (2) received in the insulative housing, a cable (6) electrically connecting with the contacts, a retention member (4), a pull tape (7) and a cover (5). The contacts have rear portions and the cable consists of a number of wires (61, 62) electrically connecting with the rear portions of the contacts to form connection area. The retention member is molded over the connection area. The cover shrouds the rear portion of the insulative housing, the retention member and part of the cable adjacent to the retention member. The pull tape has a fixing part and a pull part connecting with the fixing part. The fixing pull part of the pull tape is embedded in the cover. The pull part of the pull tape is exposed out of the cover for being pull to separate the cable connector assembly from a complementary connector.
