Abstract: A housing, a signal terminal retained in the housing, and a shield terminal surrounding the signal terminal, wherein the shield terminal includes a U-shaped terminal and a tab-shaped terminal, the U-shaped terminal includes a main body part, a pair of side plate parts extending from both ends of the main body part, and a second contact part that is elastically deformable, connected to upper ends of the respective side plate parts, and that is in contact with a shield terminal of a counterpart connector, the tab-shaped terminal includes a third contact part that is elastically deformable, the third contact part in contact with a main body part of the shield terminal of the counterpart connector, and the main body part is in contact with an elastically deformable third contact part of a tab-shaped terminal of the counterpart connector.

Abstract: A housing; and a terminal unit retained in the housing; wherein the terminal unit includes a signal terminal, a shield terminal surrounding the signal terminal, and a terminal housing to which the signal terminal and the shield terminal are mounted, the terminal housing includes a crush rib protruding outward from the shield terminal, and the housing is formed with a terminal unit stowing cavity in which the terminal unit is stowed, the terminal unit being stowed and retained in the terminal unit stowing cavity with the shield terminal not in contact with the housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector and assembly are provided. The electrical connector includes an insulative base and terminal columns. Each terminal column includes ground terminals and differential signal terminal pairs, the terminal columns are spaced apart from each other. Each ground terminal has a body portion and three elastic contact portions. Each signal terminal of each differential signal terminal pair has a body portion and an elastic contact portion. In two adjacent terminal columns, orthographic projections of the two elastic contact portions of each differential signal terminal pair are positioned within a range defined by a width of the elastic contact portions of the corresponding ground terminal, and an orthographic projection of the elastic contact portion positioned in a middle of each ground terminal in the second direction is positioned within a range defined by a width of the two elastic contact portions of the corresponding differential signal terminal pair.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first housing and a first terminal held by the first housing, the first terminal has a first contact portion which extends in a first direction. The second connector includes a second housing and a second terminal held by the second housing, the second terminal extends in the first direction and has a second contact portion. In a mating process of the first connector and the second connector, the first connector and the second connector firstly move toward each other along the first direction, then move along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction relative to each other to make the first contact portion of the first terminal contact the second contact portion of the second terminal and make the first connector and the second connector mate with each other.

Abstract: A lock lever of a second connector has a first engaged part and a second engaged part. A frame of a first connector has a first engaging part and a second engaging part. The first engaging part is engaged with the first engaged part in a locked state where the lock lever is at a lock position. The lock lever has the elastic part that is elastically deformable in the horizontal direction. The elastic part has a second engaged part and is elastically deformed in the horizontal direction in the locked state to bring the second engaged part into contact with the second engaging part.
