A terminal protector, a connector and a connector assembly are disclosed. the terminal protector has: a side wall; and a base plate connected to the bottom of the side wall and formed with a hole allowing the terminal to pass through. A first elastic cantilever is formed on the side wall of the terminal protector, the first elastic cantilever is a part of the side wall, and the inner and outer surfaces of the first elastic cantilever are respectively flush with the inner and outer surfaces of the side wall, so that the first elastic cantilever does not occupy the space outside the side wall. In the present invention, the elastic cantilever on the terminal protector does not occupy the space outside the side wall of the terminal protector. Therefore, it does not need to occupy the additional space inside the connector, and the effective utilization rate of the internal space of the connector is improved.

A cable connector includes an outer shell having a bore extending between a mating end and a cable end. The outer shell has latch pockets. The cable connector includes a shield received in the outer shell that divides the bore into chambers. The cable connector includes contact holders received in corresponding chambers. Each contact holder includes at least one contact channel and a deflectable latch having a latching head at a distal end of the latch configured to be received in the corresponding latch pocket of the outer shell to axially secure the contact holder in the outer shell. The latch has an interference bump at an inner end of the latch configured to engage the shield to press the latching head of the latch outward. The cable connector includes contacts received in corresponding contact channels of the corresponding contact holders.
