Matched impedance connector having retention device on a grounding plane

摘要

An electrical connector comprises a die cast housing defining a receiving space therein. A connector insert is inserted into the receiving space and includes a first half integrally formed therewith a plurality of first terminals, and a second half mated with the first half and integrally formed with a plurality of second terminals which are symmetrically aligned with the first terminals. Each of the first and second terminals includes a body portion enclosed within the corresponding half, and a mating portion extending beyond the block and a tail portion extending opposite the mating portion. Retaining posts and recesses are formed between the first and second blocks to fixedly secure the first and second blocks together. A grounding bus is sandwiched between the first and second blocks. The ground bus includes a plurality of pin legs having a needle-eye thereon.
