Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating body and a first terminal module. The insulating body includes a first receiving space, a first mating port and a second mating port. The first mating port is configured to receive a first mating module. The second mating portion is configured to receive a second mating module. The insulating body includes a top wall portion. The top wall portion has a first opening communicating with the first receiving space. The first terminal module is installed into the first receiving space through the first opening. An opening direction of the first opening is different from opening directions of the first mating port and the second mating port. As a result, the electrical connector has high structural reliability and is easy to assemble.
