Abstract
An electrical connector for soldering to a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing, a number of conductive terminals affixed to the insulative housing, and a metal shell surrounding the base portion. The insulative housing includes a base portion. Each conductive terminal includes a soldering portion extending laterally and outwardly from a lateral edge of the base portion. The metal shell includes a pair of longitudinal wall. The electrical connector includes an isolation block isolating the soldering portion from the longitudinal wall of the metal shell in a vertical direction.
Claims20
An electrical connector for soldering to a printed circuit board, comprising:
- an insulative housing comprising a base portion;
- a plurality of conductive terminals affixed to the insulative housing and each comprising a soldering portion extending laterally and outwardly from a lateral edge of the base portion;
- and
- a metal shell surrounding the base portion and comprising a pair of longitudinal wall;
- wherein
- the electrical connector comprises an isolation block isolating the soldering portion from the longitudinal wall of the metal shell in a vertical direction.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a first electrical connector including:
- a first insulative housing including a first base portion and a tongue portion extending upwardly from the base portion, a pair of first isolation blocks extending along a lengthwise direction and located on two opposite lateral sides of the first base portion, respectively, in a lateral direction perpendicular to said lengthwise direction;
- at least one row of first terminals insert-molded within the first insulative housing with corresponding first contacting portions exposed upon the tongue portion and corresponding first soldering portions extending outward in said lateral direction under the corresponding isolation blocks in a vertical direction perpendicular to both the lengthwise direction and the lateral direction;
- a first metallic shell insert-molded with the first insulative housing and defining a first frame structure with a pair of first longitudinal walls extending along the lengthwise direction, directly facing the tongue portion in the lateral direction, and positioned upon the corresponding first isolation blocks so as to be spaced from the first soldering sections of the corresponding first terminals in the vertical direction.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing with a base portion with an annular wall surrounding a central slot, a pair of isolation blocks each extending along a lengthwise direction and commonly extending outwardly from the annular wall away from each other in a lateral direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction;
- at least one row of terminals insert-molded within the insulative housing with corresponding contacting sections exposed in the central slot and corresponding soldering sections extending outwardly beyond the annular wall in the lateral direction, a metallic shell insert-molded with the insulative housing and including a pair of longitudinal walls, and each longitudinal wall being spaced from the corresponding soldering sections by the corresponding isolation block in a vertical direction perpendicular to both the lengthwise direction and the lateral direction.
