Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of conductive terminals affixed to the insulative housing, a shielding plate affixed to the insulative housing, a shielding shell enclosing the insulative housing, and an isolative block isolating the conductive terminals from the shielding plate.
Claims17
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing including a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion;
- a plurality of conductive terminals affixed to the insulative housing and including a row of upper terminals and a row of lower terminals, each terminal having a contacting portion exposed to the tongue portion;
- a shielding plate sandwiched between the upper terminals and the lower terminals;
- a shielding shell enclosing the insulative housing;
- and
- an insulative isolative block isolating the conductive terminals from the shielding plate;
- wherein
- the isolative block comprises a first isolative plate isolating the upper terminals from the shielding plate and a second isolative plate isolating the lower terminals from the shielding plate;
- the insulative housing comprises a first insulator affixing with the upper terminals, a second insulator affixing with the lower terminals, and a third insulator enclosing the first insulator and the second insulator, the first insulator comprises a first base and a first stepped portion extending forwardly from the first base, the second insulator comprises a second base and a second stepped portion extending forwardly from the second base, and the third insulator comprises a third base enclosing the first base and the second base, a third stepped portion enclosing the first stepped portion and the second stepped portion, and a tongue affixing with the contacting portions to form the tongue portion;
- and
- a rear end of the first isolative plate resists against a front end of the first stepped portion, and a rear end of the second isolative plate resists against a front end of the second stepped portion.

An electrical connector comprising:
- a first contact module including a plurality of upper contacts integrally formed within an upper insulator, each of said upper contacts including a contacting portion exposed outside of the upper insulator in a front-to-back direction;
- a second contact module including a plurality of lower contacts integrally formed within a lower insulator, each of said lower contacts including a contacting portion exposed outside of the lower insulator in the front-to-back direction;
- a metallic shielding plate tightly sandwiched between the upper insulator and the lower insulator in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction;
- an insulative upper isolative block being discrete from and located in front of the upper insulator and tightly sandwiched between the contacting portions of the upper contacts and the shielding plate in the vertical direction;
- and
- an insulative lower isolative block being discrete from and located in front of the lower insulator and tightly sandwiched between the contacting portions of the lower contacts and the shielding plate in the vertical direction;
- wherein
- the upper isolative block is stiffer than the upper insulator and has a higher melting temperature than the upper insulator, and the lower isolative block is stiffer than the lower insulator and has a higher melting temperature than the lower insulator.
