Abstract

A micro plug connector has an insulative housing with multiple mounting holes, multiple terminals respectively mounted in the mounting holes, and a shielding shell covering the insulative housing and the terminals. Each terminal has a mounting section mounted in the insulative housing, a welding section protruding backward from a rear end of the mounting section and protruding out of a rear portion of the insulative housing, and an electrical connection section protruding forward from a front end of the mounting section and partially exposed out of a corresponding one of the mounting holes. Each of at least one of the terminals has an anti-bending protrusion abutting against an inner top surface defined in the corresponding one of the mounting holes. The anti-bending protrusion prevents a distal end of the electrical connection section of the terminal from bending up and contacting the shielding shell by accident.

Dependent claims

A micro plug connector comprising:

an insulative housing having
a base;
a tongue formed on and protruding forward from a front end of the base;
multiple mounting holes defined through the base and the tongue;
and
multiple inner top surfaces respectively defined in the mounting holes;
multiple terminals respectively mounted in the mounting holes of the insulative housing and each terminal having
a mounting section mounted in the base;
a welding section formed on and protruding backward from a rear end of the mounting section and protruding out of a rear portion of the insulative housing;
and
an electrical connection section formed on and protruding forward from a front end of the mounting section, mounted on the tongue, and partially exposed out of a corresponding one of the mounting holes, and the electrical connection section having an upper edge;
wherein each of at least one of the terminals has an anti-bending protrusion, and the anti-bending protrusion is formed on and protrudes from the upper edge of the electrical connection section of the terminal and abuts against the inner top surface in the corresponding one of the mounting holes;
and
a shielding shell having a cavity defined in the shielding shell and receiving the insulative housing and the terminals.
