Abstract
An electrical connector for mating with a plug includes an insulative housing, a number of first contacts retained in the indulative housing. The insulative housing includes a first contact area. Each first contact has a contact portion extending into the first contact area, a soldering portion extending out of the insulative housing and a connecting portion extending therebetween. The connecting portions are arranged in several rows along a front to back direction of the housing. A first spacer is assembled to the insulative housing along the front to back direction and is arranged between the rows of the connecting portions to separate the first contacts from each other.
Claims20
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a first contact area to mate with a plug;
- a first shield enclosing the first contact area;
- a plurality of first contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a contact portion extending into the first contact area, a soldering portion extending out of the insulative housing and a connecting portion extending therebetween, the connecting portion comprising a horizontal portion and a vertical portion perpendicular to each other, the vertical portions of the first contacts being arranged in three rows along a front to back direction;
- and
- a first spacer attached to the insulative housing and comprising two opposite sides with a plurality of ribs to separate the vertical portions of the first contacts from each other.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing comprising two side walls and defining a first contact area to mate with a plug;
- a metal shield mounted between the side walls and enclosing the first contact area, the first shield comprising a pair of locking barbs extending from two sides thereof to engage with the side walls of the insulative housing;
- a plurality of first contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a contact portion extending into the first contact area, a soldering portion extending out of the insulative housing and a connecting portion extending therebetween, the connecting portions being arranged in a plurality of rows along a front to back direction;
- a spacer attached to the insulative housing and arranged between the rows of the connecting portions to separate the connecting portions from each other.
A shielded connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing defining first and second mating interfaces spaced apart from each other;
- a first set of contact terminals assembled to the first mating interface, and with a first shield attached to the housing and substantially surrounding the first set of contact terminals;
- and
- a second set of contact terminals assembled to the second mating interface and substantially in parallel to the first set of contact terminal, and with a second shield attached to the housing and substantially surrounding the second set of contact terminals.
