Abstract
A plug connector (1) includes an insulative housing (2), a center contact (3), an inner contact (4) and an outer contact (5). The housing defines a cutout (23) at a rear end thereof. The center contact has a U shaped tail portion (32) at a rear end thereof, a mating portion (35) for electrically engaging with a complementary connector and an intermediate portion (31) embedded in the housing and connecting the tail portion and the mating portion. The inner contact and the center contact are insert molded with the housing. The inner contact has a mating face (42) exposed in the cutout at a rear end thereof. The outer contact has a reversed U shaped tongue (53) facing opposite to the tail portion of the center contact and extending from a rear end thereof.
Claims4
An electrical plug connector for an electrical cable, comprising:
- a center contact comprising a mating portion, a tail portion for being soldered with a first conductor of the electrical cable and an intermediate portion connecting the mating portion with the tail portion;
- an inner contact comprising a rear portion defining a mating face for being soldered with a second conductor of the electrical cable;
- an insulative housing insert molded with the center contact and the inner contact and exposing the mating face of the inner contact outward;
- and
- an outer contact surrounding the housing for being soldered with a third conductor of the electrical cable;
- wherein the housing has a hole adjacent to the rear portion of the inner contact to expose the inner contact outwardly for providing a positioning during insert molding process;
- wherein the housing has a cutout defined in a rear end thereof, the mating face of the inner contact exposed in the cutout;
- wherein the intermediate portion of the center contact includes at least a groove in an outer circumferential surface thereof;
- wherein the tail portion of the center contact has a U shaped configuration and faces upward;
- wherein the tail portion of the center contact has an aperture for being soldered with the first conductor of the cable;
- wherein the outer contact has a reversed U shaped tongue extending from a rear end thereof, and the tongue facing downward opposite to the tail portion of the center contact.
