ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a micro coaxial cable end connector assembly used in liquid crystal display (LCD) application, and particularly to such connector assembly having securely connection between a connector and a cable.
2. Description of Related Art
U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,305,978 B1, 6,273,753 B1, 6,338,652 B1, D456,779 S, D456,780 S, D456,777 S, D457,138 S, and D444,130 S disclose low profiled micro coaxial cable connector assembly. This type connector assembly comprises a micro coaxial connector and a cable connecting with the micro coaxial connector used to transmit signals between a mother board in a base of a notebook computer and an LCD panel of the notebook computer. Because the micro coaxial connector has a low profile configuration, the connector is not easy to be held and extracted from a complementary connector by a user's hand. In addition, when the micro coaxial cable connector assembly is assembled to the notebook computer, a lot of other electrical connectors are settled around the micro coaxial cable connector assembly so that the micro coaxial cable connector is not easy to be extracted because of the space limiting. Therefore, the user usually directly pulls the cable of the assembly so as to separate it from the complementary connector which may cause a disconnection between the cable and the connector. The signal transmission between the cable and the connector is effected.
Referring to
FIG. 9
, a micro coaxial cable connector assembly comprises a micro coaxial cable connector
2
and a cable
6
which has a plurality of wires
61
extending out the cable and connecting with the connector. The wires
61
are soldered with conductive contacts of the connector
2
and some adhesive is filled into the connector to further connect the contacts with the wires. When the cable is pulled, the wires arranged in the middle bear a little pull force and the wires arranged adjacent to a pair of sides of the connector bear a large pull force. Therefore, the wires arranged adjacent to the pair of sides of the connector are easy to be break so as to effect signal transmission.
It is desired to provide a new micro coaxial cable connector assembly having a secure connection between the connector and the wires of the cable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide a micro coaxial cable connector assembly having a secure connection between a micro coaxial connector and wires of the cable.
In order to achieve the object set forth, an electrical connector assembly comprises an electrical connector and a cable. The electrical connector has a contact set and a shield enclosing the contact set. The contact set has an insulative insert and a plurality of contacts. The insulative insert defines a plurality of channels, the contacts are received into the channels and each conductive contact has a mating portion adapted for mating with a complementary connector and a connecting portion retained in a rear end of the insulative insert. The cable has a plurality of wires and a pair of strong grounding conductors. Each wire has a conductive conductor electrically and mechanically connecting with the connecting portion of the contact. The pair of strong grounding conductors is mechanically connected to a pair of sides of the connector and electrically connected with a grounding trace of the connector so as to enhance a mechanical connection between the cable and the connector and a grounding effect.
