REINFORCED ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE CONNECTOR

摘要

A reinforced electrical receptacle connector has an insulative mounting bracket, a first terminal set, a second terminal set, a shielding plate and a shell. The insulative mounting bracket has a base and a tongue formed on the base. The shielding plate is embedded in the insulative mounting bracket and has two corner reinforcing tabs are formed on respectively on two front corners of the shielding plate. Each corner reinforcing tab has a front edge being flush with the front edge of the tongue and an outside edge being flush with one of the outside edges of the tongue. The shell accommodates the insulative mounting bracket. The front corners of the shielding plate are substantially hidden in the front corners of the tongue, which prevents inadvertent rupture at the front corners.

主权项

1. A reinforced electrical receptacle connector comprising:
an insulative mounting bracket having
a base; anda tongue formed on and protruding forward from a front end of the base and having a front edge, two opposite outside edges and two front corners; a first terminal set mounted in the insulative mounting bracket and having multiple first terminals, each first terminal having a first electrical contacting section formed on a front end of the first terminal and mounted on a bottom surface of the tongue; a second terminal set mounted on the insulative mounting bracket and having multiple second terminals, each second terminal having a second electrical contacting section formed on a front end of the second terminal and mounted on a top surface of the tongue, wherein the first terminal set and the second terminal set are substantially pointing symmetrical to each other with respect to a centre of symmetry of the tongue; a shielding plate embedded in the insulative mounting bracket and having
two front corners substantially hidden in the front corners of the tongue; andtwo corner reinforcing tabs formed on respectively on the front corners of the shielding plate and each corner reinforcing tab having
a front edge being flush with the front edge of the tongue;an outside edge being flush with one of the outside edges of the tongue; andan embedding notch defined between the front edge and the outside edge and accommodating an internal portion of one front corner of the tongue; and a shell having a cavity defined in the shell and accommodating the inner insulative housing, the outer insulative housing, the first terminal set and the second terminal set.
