Electrical connector with improved shielding of conductive terminals

An electrical connector, comprising:

• a conductive housing, the conductive housing comprising a receiving slot configured to at least partially receive a mating module along a first direction, a first terminal module installation slot communicating with the receiving slot, and a second terminal module installation slot 20) communicating with the receiving slot;
• a first terminal module, the first terminal module being partially received in the first terminal module installation slot;
• the first terminal module comprising a plurality of first conductive terminals;
• each first conductive terminal comprising a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion connected to the first fixing portion;
• a second terminal module, the second terminal module being partially received in the second terminal module installation slot;
• the second terminal module comprising a plurality of second conductive terminals;
• each second conductive terminal comprising a third fixing portion and a fourth fixing portion connected to the third fixing portion;
• and
• a mounting block, the mounting block being mounted to the conductive housing;
• the mounting block comprising a base and a convex block protruding from the base;
• the base defining a first receiving groove located on one side of the convex block and extending through the base;
• the base further defining a second receiving groove located on another side of the convex block and extending through the base;
• wherein the first fixing portion is at least partially located in the first terminal module installation slot;
• the second fixing portion is at least partially located in the first receiving groove;
• the third fixing portion is at least partially located in the second terminal module installation slot;
• the fourth fixing portion is at least partially located in the second receiving groove;
• the convex block is located between the second fixing portion and the fourth fixing portion;
• and
• wherein the mounting block is a metal housing or a composite housing formed by electroplating a metal material on an insulating material;
• the mounting block is in contact with the conductive housing;
• neither the first conductive terminals nor the second conductive terminals are in contact with the mounting block.
