  • Patent number: 9362648
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals fixed to the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a pair of longer walls and a pair of short walls bounding a plug-receiving cavity with an insertion direction. The conductive terminals include plate portions partly embedded in inner surfaces of the longer walls and welded portions extending out of the insulative housing. The inner surface of the longer walls define Positioning grooves between every adjacent terminals. Each of the plate portion of the conductive terminal defines a contacting surface faced to the plug-receiving cavity and two side edges intersecting with the opening edge of corresponding Positioning groove. The structure of the connector contributes to an insert molding of the connector. It is convenient not only to terminal implant and but also to a precise positioning of two directions of the terminals during the insert molding process.

  • Patent number: 9270065
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals fixed in the housing, the housing includes a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls and a plug-receiving cavity with an insertion direction surrounded by an inner surfaces of the said four walls, each terminal defines a plate portion embedded in the inner surface of the side walls, and a soldering portion extends out of the housing, each plate portion defines a contacting surface facing and exposing to the plug-receiving cavity and two corners opposite to the contacting surface, the side walls of the housing define a plurality of holes through an outer surface and the holes are located between every adjacent plate portions of the conductive terminals, seen from a cross-section of the electrical connector perpendicular to the insertion direction, said two corners of each plate portion are exposed to adjacent holes.
