BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an electrical cable connector, and particularly to the electrical cable connector equipped with different rear cases for different cable extension.

2. Description of Related Arts

US Patent Application Publication No. 2020/0243998 discloses an electrical connector includes two types cable extension, i.e., the rearward type and the downward type wherein each type requires a front main housing to cooperate with a rear cover for reliably retaining the corresponding cables with regard to the connector. Each type connector requires its own main housing and rear cover in configuration, thus essentially being uneconomic.

Therefore, it is desired to provide an electrical connector with different directional cable extension while allowing sharing the same front main housing economically.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An electrical connector includes an insulative front housing, an insulative rear housing and a plurality of contacts. The front housing forms a mating cavity. The contact includes a contacting section extending into the mating cavity, a retaining section retained to the front housing, and a connecting section connected with the wire. The rear housing includes a front receiving space and a rear receiving space communicating with each other. The rear portion of the front housing is assembled into the front receiving space of the rear housing to have the connecting sections of the contacts exposed in the front receiving space. The rear receiving space receives the corresponding wires therein with corresponding opening to allow the wires to extend therethrough.

Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
