Abstract: A cable assembly (1) includes an insulative housing (10) with a number of terminals (20) received therein, each terminal (20) including a mating end (21) and a mounting end (23) opposite to the mating end (21), a cable (50) including a number of conductor cores (51) terminated to the corresponding mounting ends (23), an anchoring element (40) reliably assembled to the housing (10), and a cover (60). The cover partially encloses the housing, and engages with the anchoring element for increasing the retaining force between the housing and the cover.

Abstract: A method for forming a fixing plate of a cable connector assembly comprises the steps of: providing a cable; providing a mold assembly comprising a bottom mold and a top mold, the bottom mold defining a bottom groove and a recess therein, the depth of the recess having a larger size than the diameter of the cable, the top mold defining a top groove aligned with the bottom groove and a pressing protrusion corresponding to the recess of the bottom mold; positioning the cable in the recess of the bottom mold; closing the top and bottom molds of the mold assembly, the cable being snugly retained between a bottom of the recess of the bottom mold and the pressing protrusion of the top mold; and injecting molten plastic into the top and bottom grooves of the mold assembly to form the fixing plate.
