Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a wafer integrally formed with a pair of terminal pairs and each pair configured by first and second terminals. The first terminal includes a first base portion having a first tail portion, and a first mating portion, the first tail and mating portions extending beyond the wafer. The second terminal includes a second base portion having a second tail portion, and a second mating portion, the second tail and mating portions extending beyond the wafer; wherein the first and second base portions of the first and second terminal are spaced apart from each other in a side-by-side arrangement.
Claims16
An electrical connector, comprising
- a wafer integrally formed with a pair of terminal pairs and each pair configured by first and second terminals;
- said first terminal including a first base portion having a first tail portion, and a first mating portion, said first tail and mating portions extending beyond said wafer;
- said second terminal including a second base portion having a second tail portion, and a second mating portion, said second tail and mating portions extending beyond said wafer;
- wherein said first and second base portions of said first and second terminals are spaced apart from each other in a side-by-side arrangement, said wafer includes openings between said terminal pairs which are distant from each other;
- and said electrical connector further includes a grounding bus having grounding ribs which project from both faces of said grounding bus and extend into said openings defined between terminal pairs of said wafer.
An electrical connector, comprising
- a wafer integrally formed with a pair of terminal pairs and each pair configured by first and second terminals;
- said first terminal including a first base portion having a first tail portion, and a first mating portion, said first tail and mating portions extending beyond said wafer;
- said second terminal including a second base portion having a second tail portion, and a second mating portion, said second tail and mating portions extending beyond said wafer;
- a grounding bus attached to said wafer for providing EMI shielding, said grounding bus having grounding ribs which project from both faces of said grounding bus and extend into openings defined between terminal pairs of said wafer.
An electrical connector, comprising
- at least a pair of wafers integrally formed with a plurality of terminals therein, said each wafer defining at least an opening between two adjacent terminals;
- and
- a grounding bus located between said wafers and forming grounding ribs, said grounding ribs extending from both faces of said grounding bus and into said opening of said wafers.
