Abstract: A cable connector assembly, for mating with a complementary connector, includes a cable having a number of wires; and a connector comprising a contact module connected with the wires, a mounting ring attached to the cable, and a shielding shell attached to the mounting ring. The shielding shell and the mounting ring both have a number of screw threads to match with each other. An associated method of manufacturing the cable connector assembly comprises screwing the shielding shell onto the mounting ring.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (1) defining a chamber (1150); a set of contacts (2, 3) retained in the insulative housing, the contacts including a set of first type of contacts (32, 33, 34, 35) having contacting portions (302) exposed to the chamber and each being positioned horizontally, and a set of second type of contacts (31, 36) having contacting portions (302) exposed to the chamber and each being positioned vertically, at least one of the first type of contacts having a shorting bridge (304, 305) integrally connecting with one of the second type of contacts and having a tail portion (303) co-owned with the one of the second type of contacts for being soldered; and a metal shell (6) enclosing the insulative housing.

Abstract: A connector assembly (4) includes a connector (1) and a cover (2). The connector includes a body portion (11) having a mating portion (112), and a shielding shell (10) attached to the body portion and formed with a pair of protrusions (1013). The cover defines a pair of sliding slots (230). The cover covers on said mating portion of the connector in a closed position and is separated from the mating portion along with the protrusions sliding in the sliding slots in an opened position.
