Abstract: A connector assembly configured for compact, high speed electronic systems. The assembly includes a board connector and a cable connector that may be mated by moving the cable connector in a mating direction perpendicular to a printed circuit board to which the board connector is mounted. The cable and board connectors may latch when mated and may be unlatched and unmated by pulling on a tab at a top of the cable connector in a direction opposite the mating direction. As a result, little clearance is required around the board connector to access the latching components. Such a connector may enable an electronic device with high signal integrity because the connector can be mounted close to an electronic component that processes high speed signals, providing a short, and high integrity signal paths for high speed signals.

Abstract: A cable connector includes a conductive terminal having a positioning wall and a piercing wall. The piercing wall can pierce an outer insulating sheath of a thin cable to be electrically connected to an inner core of the cable. The positioning wall can position the thin cable to reduce bending or dislocation of the thin cable caused by a force and thus minimize pulling of the core. This ensures electrical connection between the piercing wall and the core of the thin cable, and also prevents the core from being damaged or broken by any pulling force.
