Abstract

An electrical receptacle connector includes a terminal module received in a metallic shell. The terminal module includes a base portion and receptacle terminals held on the base portion. A notch is recessed from a periphery of an insertion opening of the metallic shell. Therefore, when the electrical receptacle connector is assembled in an electronic device, the periphery of the notch corresponds to the periphery of a cut opening of a housing of the electronic device. The periphery of the cut opening and the periphery of the notch are aligned along the same profile line, and the periphery of the notch does not protrude out of the cut opening. Therefore, the periphery of the insertion opening will not interfere with other components assembled with the housing, and the problem of that the conventional design cannot satisfy the design change of the housing of the electronic device can be solved.

Claims10

Dependent claims

An electrical receptacle connector, comprising:

a terminal module comprising a base portion, a tongue portion outward extended from one end of the base portion, and a plurality of receptacle terminals held in the base portion, wherein one of two ends of each of the receptacle terminals extends toward a first surface of the tongue portion or a second surface of the tongue portion opposite to the first surface, and the other end of each of the receptacle terminals protrudes out of the base portion;
and
a metallic shell circularly enclosing the terminal module, wherein the metallic shell comprises a shell body, an insertion opening formed on one end of the shell body, and a receptacle cavity in the shell body, wherein the shell body is defined by two opposite walls and two opposite sidewalls respectively perpendicular to the two walls, the shell body comprises at least one notch recessed from a periphery of the insertion opening and formed on one of the walls or one of the sidewalls.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
