Abstract

A cable connector is provided which includes an insulating body including a frame which defines a region therein; a plurality of electrical terminals fixed to the insulating body and extended into the region; and a plurality of cables electrically connected to the electrical terminals respectively in the region. The region is filled with an insulator to embed the electrical terminals and the cables. The cable connector has a relatively high reliability.

First claim

1 . Cable connector comprising:
an insulating body comprising a frame which defines a region therein; a plurality of electrical terminals fixed to the insulating body and extending into the region; and a plurality of cables electrically connected to the electrical terminals respectively in the region; wherein the region is filled with an insulator to embed the electrical terminals and the cables.

2 . The cable connector of claim 1 , further comprising at least one electromagnetic shielding element disposed in the region, wherein two terminals of the electromagnetic shielding element are embedded in the insulator, and respectively connected to the corresponding electrical terminals.

3 . The cable connector of claim 2 , wherein the at least one electromagnetic shielding element is a capacitor or an inductor.

4 . The cable connector of claim 2 , wherein a holder extends from the frame into the region, the at least one electromagnetic shielding element is carried by the holder.

5 . The cable connector of claim 2 , wherein the ends of the cables are welded to corresponding electrical terminals from a side of the frame, and the terminals of the electromagnetic shielding element are welded to corresponding electrical terminals from another side of the frame.

6 . The cable connector of claim 1 , further comprising two opposite covers, wherein the frame is a hollow frame, the covers respectively coupled to two sides of the frame to protect the insulator.

7 . The cable connector of claim 6 , wherein the frame comprises a first sidewall and a second sidewall which are perpendicular to the extension direction of the cables, a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall along the extension direction of the cables, and wherein the covers have engagement formations coupled with corresponding retaining formations arranged on the outer surfaces of the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall.

8 . The cable connector of claim 1 , further comprising a cover, wherein the frame has a bottom, the cover is fixed to a top side of the frame to protect the insulator.

9 . The cable connector of claim 1 , wherein the insulator is formed by injection molding and solidified into the region.

10 . The cable connector of claim 9 , wherein the insulator is made of synthetic resin.

11 . The cable connector of claim 1 , further comprising a mounting plate with a plurality of passages through which the cables pass, wherein the frame comprises four sidewalls, and one of the sidewalls has a notch fitted for the mounting plate.

12 . The cable connector of claim 1 , wherein the insulating body further comprises a housing for coupling with a corresponding connector, a portion of each electrical terminal is embedded in the housing.

13 . The cable connector of claim 12 , wherein the housing is made integrally with the frame.

14 . The cable connector of claim 12 , wherein the housing is mounted on the frame.

15 . The cable connector of claim 1 , wherein middle electrical terminals of the electrical terminals are overlapped in height direction of frame from top to bottom.
