Electrical connector with stability assurance for internal shielding plate and the attachment of an external electrical component

An electrical connector configured to electrically connect a first component and a second component, the electrical connector comprising:

• an insulating block;
• a plurality of terminals, provided to form two rows including an upper row and a lower row, including a plurality of USB 2.0 terminals in the upper row and the lower row and one pair of differential signal terminals, each of the terminals having a connecting portion fixed in the insulating block, a first conduction portion extending forward from the connecting portion to be electrically connected to the first component, and a second conduction portion extending backward from the connecting portion, wherein the second conduction portion has a bending portion, and the bending portion is connected to the connecting portion;
• and
• a shielding sheet, fixed to the insulating block and located between the two rows of the terminals, wherein a rear end of the shielding sheet has an abutting portion to abut the second component, and the abutting portion extends backward out of an insulating block and does not pass beyond the bending portion;
• wherein a middle slot and a side slot are concavely provided on a middle portion of a rear end surface of the shielding sheet, the side slot is located at one side of the middle slot, the middle slot corresponds to the second conduction portions of the upper row and the lower row of the USB 2.0 terminals, the side slot corresponds to the second conduction portions of the one pair of differential signal terminals, and the abutting portion is formed between the middle slot and the side slot.
