Charging connector

A charging connector adapted for connecting between a mated connector and a cable, comprising:

• an insulating housing having a base body, and a protruding portion protruding upward from a top surface of the base body and then extending forward beyond a front end of the base body, the insulating housing defining a terminal groove extending longitudinally against the top surface of the base body to pass through a bottom and a rear end of the protruding portion;
• a terminal having a locating piece located on the top surface of the base body, a front of the locating piece extending forward to form a contact piece inserted forward into the terminal groove with a front thereof being exposed under the protruding portion to electrically contact with the mated connector, a rear of the locating piece defining a soldering piece disposed to a rear of the insulating housing to be soldered with the cable;
• and
• a shielding shell surrounding the insulating housing, a side of the shielding shell defining a soldering plate disposed to one side of the insulating housing to be soldered with the cable.
