Abstract
An electrical connector (1) comprises an upper housing (2), a bottom housing (3) and a terminal module (4). The upper housing and the bottom housing together define a space and a mating port (20) positioned near the space. The terminal module has a base (40), a tongue (41) extending in the mating port from the base in a mating direction, and a plurality of signal terminals (7, 8) and grounding terminals (5, 6) therein. The signal terminals are disposed opposite sides of the tongue in pairs. A square hole (418) is formed in the tongue and aligned with every two opposite signal terminals.
Claims12
An electrical connector comprising:
- a bottom housing;
- an upper housing assembled to the bottom housing together to define a space and a mating port positioned near the space;
- and
- a terminal module received in the space defined by the upper and bottom housings, the module having a base, a tongue extending in the mating port from the base, and a plurality of signal terminals and grounding buses therein, said signal terminals being disposed opposite sides of the tongue in pairs, a plurality of holes being formed in the tongue and parallel to said signal terminals, wherein the grounding buses consist of first grounding terminals for engaging with a mating connector and second grounding terminals for shielding the signal terminals and every first grounding terminal and two corresponding second grounding terminals are received in a same passageway of the base and wherein the terminal module further comprises a circuit board for engaging with the second grounding terminals and signal terminals.
An electrical connector comprising:
- a terminal module including:
- a base;
- a tongue extending forwardly from the base;
- pairs of signal contacts respectively located on two opposite faces of the tongue;
- a plurality of first holes rearwardly extending from a front face of the tongue and between the pair of signal contacts, respectively, while not extending through said tongue in a front-to-back direction, for impedance control wherein a plurality of grounding contacts are alternatively arranged with said pair of signal contacts in said tongue and a plurality of second holes are formed in the tongue and the grounding contacts extending thereinto, respectively, from a rear portion of the base.
