Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulation housing, a conductive housing assembled to the insulation housing, a plurality of conductive terminals installed within both the insulation housing and the conductive housing, and a spacer. The plurality of conductive terminals include a plurality of ground terminals in contact with the conductive housing to electrically connect the plurality of ground terminals together. The spacer is connected to the insulation housing such that the conductive housing is positioned between the insulation housing and the spacer. The spacer is formed with a clamping structure clamping the conductive housing and the ground terminals together.
