Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cable connector assembly comprises an intercepting cable step, a connecting cable and contact step and a molding cover step. During the intercepting cable step, a tubular cable is intercepted with a given length. During the connecting cable and contact step, a body is provided to receive the cable and contacts. During the molding cover step, a second mold assembly comprising a top mold and a bottom mold is provided. The second mold assembly includes a second molding chamber for receiving the body and a end portion of the cable therein, and an elliptical passageway in communication with the second molding chamber for extension of the cable therethrough. A rib is formed in the passageway for compensating deformation of the flexible plastic pipe.

Abstract: A cable connector assembly comprises a connector subassembly including an electrical connector and a shell enclosing the connector, a cable terminated to the connector subassembly, and a strain relief device injection molded around the cable. The strain relief device includes a strain relief member and an integral interconnection member located in the connector subassembly for assembling the strain relief thereto. The strain relief member comprises a plurality of longitudinal portions arranged in two arrays for symmetrically flanking the cable, a plurality of parallel vertical portions interconnecting the longitudinal portions for sandwiching the cable therebetween, and a front portion connecting with the interconnection member. Each longitudinal portion has a substantially trapezoidal vertical cross section being tapered toward the cable. The height of the vertical cross section of each longitudinal portion proximate the retained cable is much smaller than the diameter of the cable in a vertical direction.
