Electrical connector with improved ground shielding effect

An electrical connector, comprising:

• an insulating body comprising a mating surface and a mating slot extending through the mating surface along a first direction;
• and
• a first terminal module comprising a plurality of first conductive terminals and a first grounding sheet;
• each first conductive terminal comprising a first main body portion and a first elastic arm extending from the first main body portion;
• the first elastic arm comprising a first mating portion protruding into the mating slot;
• wherein the plurality of first conductive terminals comprise a first signal terminal group, a first ground terminal located on one side of the first signal terminal group along a second direction, and a second ground terminal located on another side of the first signal terminal group along the second direction;
• the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other;
• the first signal terminal group comprises a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal;
• wherein the first grounding sheet comprises a first body portion, a first intermediate portion connected to the first body portion, a first abutting elastic arm connected to the first intermediate portion, and a second abutting elastic arm connected to the first intermediate portion;
• the first body portion comprises a first contacting portion in contact with the first main body portion of the first ground terminal, a second contacting portion in contact with the first main body portion of the second ground terminal, and a first avoidance portion connecting the first contacting portion and the second contacting portion;
• the first avoidance portion is configured to avoid the first signal terminal group so as not to contact the first signal terminal group;
• the first intermediate portion comprises a first contact tab in contact with the first elastic arm of the first ground terminal and a second contact tab abutting against the first elastic arm of the second ground terminal;
• the first abutting elastic arm of the first grounding sheet comprises a first abutting portion abutting on the first elastic arm of the first ground terminal;
• the second abutting elastic arm of the first grounding sheet comprises a second abutting portion abutting on the first elastic arm of the second ground terminal;
• the first abutting portion and the first contact tab are disposed at intervals along the first direction;
• the second abutting portion and the second contact tab are disposed at intervals along the first direction.
