Receptacle connector with flexible insertion directions

A receptacle connector, comprising:

• an insulating portion, the insulating portion defining a receiving space and a mating space in communication with the receiving space, the mating space extending through the insulating portion to form a mating port;
• a receptacle terminal module, the receptacle terminal module being mounted to the insulating portion, the receptacle terminal module comprising a first terminal module and a second terminal module, the first terminal module and the second terminal module being arranged on opposite sides of the mating space, the first terminal module comprising a first terminal base and a plurality of first receptacle terminals fixed to the first terminal base, the second terminal module comprising a second terminal base and a plurality of second receptacle terminals fixed to the second terminal base;
• and
• a receptacle circuit board, the first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals being electrically connected to the receptacle circuit board;
• wherein each first receptacle terminal comprises a first mating portion protruding into the mating space, and each second receptacle terminal comprises a second mating portion protruding into the mating space;
• wherein the first mating portions of the first receptacle terminals and the second mating portions of the second receptacle terminals are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the mating space along a first direction;
• and
• wherein the insulating portion comprises a partition wall and two mounting slots, the partition wall is located between the receiving space and the mating space, the two mounting slots are arranged on opposite sides of the partition wall along the first direction, and the first terminal base and the second terminal base are at least partially disposed in the two mounting slots, respectively.
