Cable connector assembly with an improved grounding contact

A cable connector assembly comprising:nan insulative housing including a base portion, a first tongue and a second tongue extending forwardly from the base portion;a plurality of first contacts received in the first tongue and a plurality of second contacts held in the second tongue, the second contacts used for transmitting high speed signal and having a grounding contact in the middle thereof;a cable electrically connected with the second contacts and having an aluminum foil, a front part of the aluminum foil being stripped away; anda metallic shell enclosing the insulative housing;wherein the grounding contact has an extending configuration rearward extending far beyond back ends of all other second contacts along a front to back direction and a pair of soldering portions on both sides of the extending configuration, and the extending configuration has a Z-shaped cross-section and extends rearwards to a front end of the aluminum foil;wherein the extending configuration defines a first extending portion and a second enlarged portion on a free end thereof, and the second enlarged portion extends beyond the front end of the aluminum foil along the front to back direction; andwherein each of the first extending portion and the second enlarged portion has a Z-shaped configuration viewed along the front to back direction.

A cable connector assembly comprising:nan insulative housing defining a front mating port;a plurality of passageways disposed in the housing along a front-to-back direction and communicating with said mating port;a plurality of contacts inserted into the corresponding passageways from a rear side of the housing, respectively, each of said contacts defining a front contacting section exposed in the mating port and a rear soldering section; andtwo differential pair wires located behind the housing, each pair of said differential pair wires including a pair of signal wires commonly enclosed in a metallic foil wherein a front end portion of the metallic foil is removed to exposed front end sections of the respective signal wires in a divergent manner to have a corresponding inner conductor of the exposed front end section of each signal wire exposed to be soldered to the soldering section of the corresponding contact; whereina grounding contact of said contacts further forms an enlarged section rearward extending beyond a rear side of the housing and the rear soldering sections to segregate divergently arranged exposed front end sections of said two differential pairs;wherein said enlarged section extend rearwardly with a distance essentially at least terminated at or further beyond a front end of the remaining metallic foil so as to replace the removed front end portion of the metallic foil for shielding consideration to prevent electrical interference between said two different pairs; andwherein said enlarged section defines a Z-like cross-section viewed in the front-to-back direction.
