Abstract
An electrical connector includes: a terminal module including a first unit, a second unit, and a shielding plate between the first and second units, each of the first unit and the second unit having an insulative body and a row of contacts, the insulative body including a rear base and a front tongue; and a shielding shell enclosing the terminal module, wherein the first unit and the second unit have same structure.
Claims17
An electrical connector comprising:
- a terminal module including a first unit, a second unit, and a shielding plate between the first and second units, each of the first unit and the second unit having an insulative body and a row of contacts, the insulative body including a rear base and a front tongue;
- and
- a shielding shell enclosing the terminal module;
- wherein
- the first unit and the second unit have same structure.

An electrical connector comprising:
- a contact module including a first unit and a second unit back to back assembled with each other with a metallic shielding plate sandwiched therebetween in a vertical direction, each of the first unit and the second unit includes a plurality of contacts integrally retained in an insulative body, wherein
- the first unit and the second unit are same with each other, and each of the first unit and the second unit is asymmetrically arranged with regard to a front-to-back centerline thereof extending along a front-to-back direction perpendicular to the vertical direction so as to have said first unit and said second unit reversely symmetrically arranged with each other in said vertical direction when viewed along the front-to-back direction.
A method of making an electrical connector comprising steps of:
- providing a pair of units each with a plurality of contacts integrally formed within an insulative body via an insert-molding process wherein said pair of units are same with each other;
- providing a metallic shielding plate;
- and
- assembling the pair of units in a back-to-back manner with the shielding plate therebetween in a vertical direction;
- wherein
- in a transverse direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, each of the pair of units has a first securing device on one lateral side and a second securing device on the other lateral side symmetrically arranged with each other with regard to a front-to-back centerline extending along a front-to-back direction perpendicular to both the vertical direction and the transverse direction, so as to have the first securing device of one of the pair of units engages the second securing device of the other of the pair of units, and the second securing device of said one of the pair of units engages the first securing device of the other of the pair of units;
- wherein
- said first securing device is different from said second securing device.
