Electrical plug connector with shielding and grounding features

An electrical plug connector, comprising:

• a plug metal shell, an accommodating space being enclosed by the plug metal shell;
• a first terminal module, comprising:
• a first insulator;
• a first signal contact set held inside the first insulator;
• and
• two first plug grounding contacts held inside the first insulator and arranged alongside the first signal contact set, the two first plug grounding contacts being disposed on two opposite sides of the first signal contact set respectively;
• a second terminal module, comprising:
• a second insulator assembled with the first insulator to form an insulation housing bracket;
• a second signal contact set held inside the second insulator;
• and
• two second plug grounding contacts held inside the second insulator and arranged alongside the second signal contact set, the two second plug grounding contacts being disposed on two opposite sides of the second signal contact set respectively;
• an insulation housing disposed inside the accommodating space, an internal socketing space being enclosed by the insulation housing, and the internal socketing space being for accommodating the two first plug grounding contacts and the two second plug grounding contacts;
• and
• a first grounding member disposed between the plug metal shell and the two first plug grounding contacts, and spaced from a first side of the insulation housing bracket, the first grounding member being mechanically contacting with the two first plug grounding contacts, such that the first grounding member is electrically connected to the two first plug grounding contacts.

An electrical plug connector, comprising:

• a plug metal shell with an accommodating space enclosed therein;
• an insulation housing bracket having a side, a base portion and a tongue portion, the base portion having an abutting surface, the tongue portion protruding from the abutting surface of the base portion, a rear side of the plug metal shell abutting against the abutting surface of the base portion;
• an insulation housing disposed inside the accommodating space, an internal socketing space being enclosed by the insulation housing, the tongue portion being disposed in the internal socketing space;
• a plug grounding contact held inside the insulation housing bracket, and a portion of the plug grounding contact being exposed on the side of the insulation housing bracket;
• and
• a grounding member disposed between the plug metal shell and the plug grounding contact, the grounding member being spaced from the side of the insulation housing bracket, the grounding member mechanically contacting with the plug grounding contact, such that the grounding member is electrically connected to the plug grounding contact.
