Electrical connector receptacle with combined first and second contacts

摘要

An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, a plurality of first receptacle terminals, and a plurality of second receptacle terminals. The insulated housing received in the metallic shell is assembled with the first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals. The tail portion of the power terminal of the second receptacle terminals is adjacent to and combined with the tail portion of the power terminal of the first receptacle terminals. The tail portion of the ground terminal of the second receptacle terminals is adjacent to and combined with the tail portion of the ground terminal of the first receptacle terminals. The combined tail portions can be inserted into the same soldering hole of a circuit board. Therefore, the cost and time for the soldering procedure of the connector manufacturing can be reduced.
