Electrical connector with shieldingthereof

摘要

An electrical connector for mating with a plug and mounting to a printed circuit board, includes an insulative housing with a forwardly extending mating tongue thereof. A terminal module includes an insulator associated with a plurality of contacts commonly assembled into the housing. Those contacts are categorized with the differential pairs, the grounding contacts and the power contacts while each of the contacts includes a front contacting section exposed upon the mating tongue, a middle retention section retained to the insulator, and a rear tail section extending out of the housing. A metallic shielding/reinforcement plate associated with the terminal module is assembled into the housing, and includes a front region inserted into the mating tongue, a middle region with a spring tang to mechanically and electrically connected to the selected grounding contact, and a rear tail section extending out of the housing.

主权项

1. An electrical connector for mating with a plug connector and mounting to a printed circuit board, comprising:
an insulative housing defining a rear base and a front mating tongue extending therefrom with opposite upper and lower surfaces; opposite upper and lower terminal modules stacked with each other and commonly received with the housing, each of said upper and lower terminal modules including an insulator associated with therewith a plurality of contacts categorized with differential pairs, grounding contacts and power contacts mixed up with one another for coupling to the plug, each of said contacts defining a front immovable contacting section exposed upon the mating tongue for mating with the plug, a middle retention section retained in the insulator for being positioned in the base, and a rear tail section extending out of the insulator for mounting to the printed circuit board; and a metallic shielding/reinforcement plate located between the pair of terminal modules and including a front region located between the contacting sections of the contacts of the opposite upper and lower terminal modules and snugly inserted into the mating tongue for reinforcement, a spring tang mechanically and electrically contacting a selected one of said grounding contact for grounding, and a rear tail section for mounting to the printed circuit board; wherein the front contacting sections of the upper terminal module are upwardly exposed upon the upper surface of the mating tongue in a flush manner, and the front contacting sections of the lower terminal module are downwardly exposed upon the lower surface of the mating tongue in a flush manner.
