  • Patent number: 10079456
    Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, upper-row receptacle terminals, and lower-row receptacle terminals. The insulated housing is in the receptacle cavity of the metallic shell. The receptacle terminals are held in the base portion and the tongue portion. The tail portions of the power terminals and the tail portions of the ground terminals have three bent portions, i.e., the first bent portion, the second bent portion, and the third bent portion. The bent portions allow the terminals to have different and non-parallel delivering paths for electromagnetic waves, so that the signals do not interfere with each other easily.
