Electrical connector with improved structural reliability

An electrical connector, comprising:

• an insulating body, defining a mating slot configured to receive a mating module;
• a first terminal module, at least partially received in the insulating body, the first terminal module comprising a first insulating block and a plurality of first conductive terminals insert-molded with the first insulating block, at least one of the first conductive terminals comprising a first elastic arm, the first elastic arm comprising a first mating portion and a first end portion connected to the first mating portion, the first mating portion protruding into the mating slot;
• and
• a second terminal module, at least partially received in the insulating body, the second terminal module comprising a second insulating block and a plurality of second conductive terminals insert-molded with the second insulating block, at least one of the second conductive terminals comprising a second elastic arm, the second elastic arm comprising a second mating portion and a second end portion connected to the second mating portion, the second mating portion protruding into the mating slot;
• wherein at least one of the first conductive terminals comprises a supporting portion extending from the first elastic arm, the supporting portion is exposed from the first insulating block, the electrical connector further comprises a supporting block located behind the supporting portion along a mating direction and abutting against the supporting portion.

An electrical connector, comprising:

• an insulating body, defining a mating slot configured to receive a mating module;
• a first terminal module, at least partially received in the insulating body, the first terminal module comprising a first insulating block and a plurality of first conductive terminals fixed to the first insulating block, at least one of the first conductive terminals comprising a cantilever-shaped first elastic arm which comprises a first mating portion and a first end portion connected to the first mating portion, the first mating portion protruding into the mating slot;
• and
• a second terminal module, at least partially received in the insulating body, the second terminal module comprising a second insulating block and a plurality of second conductive terminals fixed to the second insulating block, at least one of the second conductive terminals comprising a cantilever-shaped second elastic arm which comprises a second mating portion and a second end portion connected to the second mating portion, the second mating portion protruding into the mating slot;
• wherein the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are disposed at intervals along a mating direction;
• wherein the first insulating block comprises a partition wall extending along a transverse direction perpendicular to the mating direction;
• the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are separated by the partition wall;
