Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of contacts retained in the housing. The housing includes a base and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base and forming opposite mating surfaces thereon. The contact includes a contacting section having an exterior face exposed upon the corresponding mating surface in a coplanar manner, and an interior face opposite to the exterior face with a recess therein.
Claims20
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing including a base and tongue portion extending forwardly from the base in a front-to-back direction and forming opposite mating faces thereon;
- a plurality of contacts retained in the housing and arranged in first and second rows in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, each of said first row and said second row spanning in a transverse direction perpendicular to both the front-to-back direction and the vertical direction, each of the contacts including a contacting section, a tail section and a connecting section therebetween in the front-to-back direction;
- said contacting section of each contact including a plate embedded within the housing, and a protrusion unitarily formed on the plate;
- wherein
- said protrusion defines opposite exterior surface and interior surface opposite to each other in roughly the vertical direction, said exterior surface being exposed to on the mating face in a coplanar manner and the protrusion forms a recess in the interior surface.

- an insulative housing including a base and tongue portion extending forwardly from the base in a front-to-back direction and forming opposite mating faces thereon;
- a plurality of contacts retained in the housing and arranged in first and second rows in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, each of said first row and said second row spanning in a transverse direction perpendicular to both the front-to-back direction and the vertical direction, each of the contacts including a contacting section, a tail section, and a connecting section therebetween in the front-to-back direction;
- a metallic shielding plate set being located between the first row and the second row in the vertical direction;
- said contacting section of each contact including a plate embedded within the housing, and a protrusion unitarily formed on the plate and exposed upon the corresponding mating face so as to have a thickness of the contacting section larger than those of both the connecting section and the tail section;
- wherein the shielding plate set forms a pair of recessions in two opposite surfaces thereof in alignment with the contacting sections of the contacts in said first row and second row, respectively, in the vertical direction.

An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing including a base and tongue portion extending forwardly from the base in a front-to-back direction and forming at least one mating face thereon in roughly a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction;
- a plurality of contacts retained in the housing and arranged at least in one row spanning in a transverse direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, each of the contacts including a contacting section, a tail section, and a connecting section therebetween in the front-to-back direction;
- said contacting section of each contact including a plate embedded within the housing, and a protrusion unitarily formed on the plate and exposed on the corresponding mating face so as to have a thickness of the contacting section larger than those of both the connecting section and the tail section;
- wherein
- a recess is formed in the contacting section of each contact, and in a top view said protrusion is dimensionally larger than the recess while smaller than the plate in both the front-to-back direction and the transverse direction.
