Patent attributes
A cable connector assembly (100) for mating with a complementary connector along a front-to-back direction includes a housing (1) defining a receiving space (15) and a top surface, a number of contacts (21, 22) received in the receiving space of the housing, a cable (6) electrically connecting with the contacts, a pulling member (3) assembled to the top surface of the housing and a conductive shell (4) assembled to the housing. The conductive shell includes a body portion (40) essentially vertically shielding the pulling member and a latch member (5) integrally extending from the body portion of the conductive shell. The latch member is capable of being actuated by the pulling member for being deflected in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, so as to latch or unlatch with regard to the complementary connector.
