Cable connector

A cable is commonly used between different electrical devices for connecting the devices and transmitting electrical signals therebetween. Typically, an electrical connector must secure an end portion of a cable such that a multiplicity of wires of the cable electrically connects with corresponding terminals of the connector. The cables include a central conductor for signal transmission and a surrounding grounding braid. Connectors are mounted on the ends of the cables to permit attachment to threaded metal contact ports for forming electrical connections between the braid and the port and the central conductor and a contact in the port. Electrical cable connectors are used in a wide variety of applications. Some connectors simply are used to transmit power from a power source to an appropriate appliance. Other electrical connectors are used to interconnect signal transmission lines to printed circuit boards, other electronic devices or to other complementary connectors. Cable connector assemblies are commonly used to connect peripheral devices with a computer for performing data transmission. A cable connector assembly includes a connector for mating with a complementary connector and a cable for connecting with an electrical device. The cable connector electrically connects electrical components to a printed circuit board via a flexible flat cable (FFC) or a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The cable connector assembly includes an electrical connector and a cable electrically connected with the electrical connector. When the cable connector assemblies are used in high speed data transmission applications, the amount of electromagnetic (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) increases. The EMI or RFI problem may be reduced by shielding. The electrical connector comprises a grounding member electrically connecting with the electronic apparatuses for eliminating noise.
