  • Publication number: 20210091500
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, a power terminal group, and a signal terminal group received in the metallic shell. Each terminal of the power terminal group includes a first contact portion, a second contact portion, and a positioning plate that are formed as a clamp structure. The first contact portion extends from an upper portion of the positioning plate and is above the insertion cavity of the insulated housing. The second contact portion extends from a lower portion of the positioning plate and is below the insertion cavity of the insulated housing. Each terminal of the signal terminal group is side-by-side arranged with the corresponding terminal of the power terminal group. A cross-sectional area of each terminal of the signal terminal group is less than a cross-sectional area of the corresponding terminal of the power terminal group.

  • Publication number: 20210091521
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, a first insulated housing, a second insulated housing, a first terminal module, and a second terminal module. The first terminal module includes the first terminals and the first assembling block combined with each other to form a one-piece member, and then the first insulated housing is further combined with the first terminal module. The second terminal module includes the second terminals and the second assembling block combined with each other to form a one-piece member, and then the second insulated housing is further combined with the second terminal module. The four-piece component is assembled into the metallic shell. Accordingly, the number of the components for manufacturing the connector can be reduced, thereby simplifying the assembling procedure for the connector.

  • Patent number: 10439314
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes a first terminal module and a second terminal module disposed inside a metallic shell. The first terminal module includes a first insulated member and first plug terminals, a first combining portion, and a first conductive strip assembled on the first insulated member. The second terminal module includes a second insulated member and second plug terminals, a second combining portion, and a second conductive strip assembled on the second insulated member. The first terminal module and the second terminal module are formed by different plastic injection molds, and therefore the assembly of the first plug terminals, the second plug terminals, the first combining portion, and the second combining portion on the first insulated member and the second insulated member becomes easy. No additional Mylar film is utilized because no terminal groove appears on the outer surface of the first insulated member and the second insulated member.

  • Patent number: 10148040
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes an insulated housing received in a metallic shell, first and second terminal modules respectively above and below the insulated housing, and abutting plates (EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) plates). Each abutting plate (EMI plate) is between the metallic shell and the insulated housing. Each abutting plate (EMI plate) includes a main body and elastic arms outwardly extending from the main body. Each elastic arm includes a terminal contact portion and a shell contact portion. The terminal contact portion is extending toward a corresponding recessed hole of the insulated housing and contacts one or more first ground terminal of the first terminal module or one or more second ground terminal of the second terminal module. The shell contact portion contacts an inner surface of the metallic shell. Therefore, the high frequency features of the connector can be optimized effectively and resonant problems of the connector can be improved.

  • Patent number: 9912088
    Abstract: A micro plug connector has an insulative housing with multiple mounting holes, multiple terminals respectively mounted in the mounting holes, and a shielding shell covering the insulative housing and the terminals. Each terminal has a mounting section mounted in the insulative housing, a welding section protruding backward from a rear end of the mounting section and protruding out of a rear portion of the insulative housing, and an electrical connection section protruding forward from a front end of the mounting section and partially exposed out of a corresponding one of the mounting holes. Each of at least one of the terminals has an anti-bending protrusion abutting against an inner top surface defined in the corresponding one of the mounting holes. The anti-bending protrusion prevents a distal end of the electrical connection section of the terminal from bending up and contacting the shielding shell by accident.

  • Patent number: 9444202
    Abstract: A connector receptacle includes an insulating housing, a plurality of contacts, a protective plate, and a metallic shell. The insulating housing includes a base portion and a tongue portion extending from the base portion. The tongue portion defines a plurality of receiving slots through the base portion. The contacts are inserted into the receiving slots, and a power contact exists among the contacts. The protective plate includes a planner main portion and two connecting arm portions. The planar main portion is disposed on the tongue portion, and includes a planar section, a front section, a side section, and a connecting section. One lateral side of the planar section is a cutting notch exposing parts of the tongue portion which corresponds to the power contact. The cutting notch prevents the power contact and the protective plate from contacting while connecting with a plug, so as to secure the safety.
