Electrical connector having a contact arrangement to improve the quality of the signal transmission

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing and a plurality of contacts retained on a mating portion of the housing. The mating portion has a mating port with a geometric centre. The contacts are divided into an upper array and a lower array. Each array includes several first contacts and at least one pair of second contacts located on two sides of the first contacts, the first contacts of the upper array are centrally symmetric to the first contacts of the lower array relative to the geometric centre of the mating port. The new type of contacts arrangement can improve the quality of the signal transmission.

1. An electrical connector, comprising:
an insulating housing including a mating portion with a mating port, said mating port having a geometric centre; a plurality of contacts retained on said mating portion and divided into an upper array and a lower array; wherein each array includes several first contacts and at least one pair of second contacts located on two sides of said first contacts, said first contacts of the upper array are centrally symmetric to the first contacts of the lower array relative to said geometric centre of the mating port; wherein said first contacts are signal contacts, said second contacts are power contacts; and wherein the first contacts of each array are divided into two groups which includes a first group far away from said geometric centre and a second group closer to the geometric centre.
