Electrical Connector and Electrical Connector Assembly

Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulated shell having a slot in a side wall extending longitudinally, a conductive assembly, and a support member embedded in the slot. The conductive assembly includes a conductive shell assembled on the insulated shell, a plurality of contact terminals each having a base and an electrical contact segment extending from the base, and a base plate detachably connected to the insulated shell. A base of each of the contact terminals is fixed to the base plate. The conductive shell and the electrical contact segment of each of the contact terminals are held in electrical contact with each other by the base plate. A pair of free ends of the support member are fixed in the slot.
