A sealed stranded wire assembly includes one or more stranded wires. The one or more stranded wires includes a solid portion formed on or attached to the length of the one or more stranded wires. The solid portion prevents liquid, dust, or other contaminants from traveling along the length of the one or more stranded wires through voids within the one or more stranded wires.

An electrical connector assembly is applied to be disposed on a circuit board. The electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector and a grounding metal member that is sleeved around an outer side of the electrical connector. The grounding metal member has a first surrounding segment and a second surrounding segment that outwardly extends from an end of the first surrounding segment. The second surrounding segment has a shielding portion being ring-shaped and a plurality of extension portions that extend from the shielding portion. The grounding metal member is configured to be connected to a grounding circuit of the circuit board through the shielding portion and the extension portions.

An electrical connector includes an elongate insulative housing defining a central slot extending along a longitudinal direction, and two rows of contacts disposed by two sides of the central slot. The housing forms a front receiving cavity to receive the corresponding mating tongue of the complementary connector, and a rear receiving cavity to receive the corresponding insulators wherein each insulator is integrally formed with each row of contacts via insert-molding for completing the whole contact module. Each grounding contact is equipped with the corresponding EMI absorber before being insert-molded within the insulator so as to have the corresponding EMI absorber also integrally formed with the insulator.

A connector assembly includes an adapter connector and two end-connectors. Each connector includes a high-speed differential area and a low-speed area. The high-speed differential area of each end-connector includes an end differential unit. The high-speed differential area of the adapter connector includes an adapter differential module. Each end differential unit and a corresponding adapter differential unit include a signal contact and a ground shielding member. The plug-in parts of the two end-connectors, which are adapted with the adapter connector, are the same in structure, and of the end differential unit and the adapter differential unit, one is a male unit and the other is a female unit in corresponding plug-in fit. Due to the fact that the plug-in parts of the two end-connectors are the same in structure, when the end-connectors are plugged into the adapter connector, identification can be saved, and blind plugging operation can be directly performed.

A male connector (100) includes a contact pad substrate (101) and a connector shell (102). The contact pad substrate (101) includes a linear array of contact pads (103a, 103b, 103c, 103d) that are adapted for aligning with corresponding contacts (103′a, 103′b, 103′c, 103′d) of a contact-bearing tongue (104′) of a corresponding female connector (100′) that conforms to a USB Series A receptacle contact pad pitch specification. The two outermost contact pads (103a, 103d) of the linear array are electrically connected together. The connector shell (102) is formed from an insulating material and comprises a tubular portion (102a) for insertion into the corresponding female connector (100′), and a handling portion (102b) for handling during insertion.
