Patent number: 9455536Abstract: An electrical connector includes insulating portions arranged side by side, terminal sets, shield sets, and a casing. Each terminal set includes signal terminals and ground terminals. Each signal/ground terminal includes a fixing section disposed in the insulating portion, an assembling section downwardly stretching from the fixing section to protrude from the insulating portion, and a contacting section forwardly stretching from the fixing section to protrude from the insulating portion. Each shield set including shields is disposed on a lateral surface of the insulating portion. Each shield is spacedly arranged and connected to the ground terminal. Each shield includes a body section having at least one bending section, and a protrusion section protruding from the body section. The body section and the protrusion section shield the assembling section and the contacting section of the signal terminal respectively. It can effectively suppress crosstalk between the signal terminals by the shield sets.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: ADVANCED-CONNECTEK INC.Inventors: Kuo-Ching Lee, Yao-Te Wang, Ya-Ping Liang

Patent number: 9437975Abstract: A crosstalk-proof receptacle connector has multiple insulative boards, multiple sets of terminals, multiple sets of shielding plates and an outer casing. The insulative boards are arranged abreast. The sets of the terminals are mounted respectively in the insulative boards. The terminals of each set are classified into signal terminals and grounding terminals. Each set of the shielding plates is mounted on one of two opposite sides of a corresponding insulative board. The shielding plates of each set are spaced apart without contacting one another. Each shielding plate has multiple folding sections capable of interrupting signal noise. The outer casing covers the insulative boards to combine the insulative boards. The sets of the shielding plates decrease signal interference of the receptacle connector and improve signal transmission efficiency and stability.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: ADVANCED-CONNECTEK INC.Inventors: Kuo-Ching Lee, Jian-Li Guan, Ya-Ping Liang, Yao-Te Wang
