ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH SHIELDING PLATE SECURED THEREIN

摘要

An electrical connector includes a first terminal module, a second terminal module, a shielding shell and a metallic shielding plate. The first terminal module includes a first mating tongue and first terminals insert molded thereamong. The first mating tongue has a first mating face on which the first terminals are exposed. The first terminals have first connecting sections extending in a vertical direction. The second terminal module includes a second mating tongue and second terminals insert molded thereamong. The second mating tongue has a second mating face directly facing to the first mating face and a third mating face. The second terminals are disposed in the second and third mating faces and have second connecting sections extending in the vertical direction. The metallic shielding plate is disposed between the first and second connecting sections and has a plurality of hooked shrapnels elastically contacting with the shielding shell.

主权项

1. A receptacle connector comprising:
an insulating housing having a mating cavity, the mating cavity having a first mating cavity and a second mating cavity communicating with each other, the insulating housing having a first mating tongue extending into the first mating cavity and a second mating tongue extending into the second mating cavity, the first and second mating tongues being parallel with each other, the insulating housing having a base portion located behind the mating tongue, the base portion having a lower wall, two side walls disposed at two sides of the mating cavity, a rear wall located in a rear side and connecting the two side walls and an accommodating room recessed forwardly from the rear wall, the base portion having a supporting wall located in a front of the accommodating room and being parallel to the rear wall and a plurality of terminal limiting slots recessed forwardly from the supporting wall; a plurality of conductive terminals, the conductive terminals having a plurality of first terminals secured in the first mating tongue and a plurality of second terminals secured in the second mating tongue, each the first and second terminals both having a connecting section extending along a vertical direction; a shielding shell surrounding the insulating housing; and a metallic plate fixed in the supporting wall, the connecting sections of the first terminals and the connecting sections of the second terminals entirely separated by the metallic plate, the side walls of the insulating housing defining abdicating slots recessed forwardly from rear sides thereof, the metallic plate formed with hooked shrapnels fixed in the abdicating slots and partly protruding out of the side walls and elastically contacting with the shielding shell.
