Abstract
An electrical connector (100) including an insulative housing (1) formed with at least a tongue (11); signal terminal pairs (31) loaded in the housing, each of the signal terminal pairs comprising a pair of adjacent signal terminals (310), each of the signal terminals having a contact portion (310a) attached on two opposing mating surfaces of each said at least a tongue; a first grounding means (321) having front portions (321a) attached on said mating surfaces between adjacent signal terminal pairs; and a second grounding means (322) having front portions (322a) embedded in said at least a tongue to insulate signal terminal pairs respectively arranged on the two opposing mating surfaces of said at least a tongue.
Claims11
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing formed with at least a tongue;
- signal terminal pairs loaded in the housing, each of the signal terminal pairs comprising a pair of adjacent signal terminals, the signal terminals having contact portions arranged on two opposing mating surfaces of each said at least a tongue;
- a first grounding means having front portions arranged between adjacent signal terminal pairs on each said mating surface;
- and
- a second grounding means having front portions embedded in said at least a tongue between signal terminal pairs respectively arranged on the two opposing mating surfaces of each said at least a tongue.
An electrical connector formed with a mating section adapted for mating with a mating connector comprising:
- an insulative housing;
- a plurality of signal terminals and ground terminals arranged in at least two terminal rows, each of the rows including at least a pair of adjacent said signal terminals and one of said ground terminals which are alternatively arranged along said each of the terminal rows;
- and
- at least a ground plate disposed in a grounding row between every two adjacent said terminal rows.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a base with a pair of mating tongues thereof, each of said mating tongues defining two opposite mating faces thereon;
- a plurality of signal differential-pair contacts formed on each of said mating faces;
- a first type grounding plate disposed in each of said mating tongues to isolate the adjacent differential-pair contacts from each other on opposite mating faces of the same mating tongue;
- and
- a second type grounding plate disposed between two opposite planes defined by said opposite mating tongues to isolate the adjacent differential-pair contacts from each other located on neighboring opposite mating faces of the different mating tongues, respectively.
