  • Publication number: 20150303618
    Abstract: An electrical connector structure includes a housing and signal modules mounted therein. Each signal module includes an insulating body, conductive terminals and a ground shield. The insulating body has a first side having a guide projection, and a second side opposite to the first side and having a guide groove. When a first signal module has been mounted in the housing, a second signal module is guided and moved to mount into the housing by the guide groove of the second signal module receiving the guide projection of the first signal module, or by the guide projection of the second signal module sliding into the guide groove of the first signal module, whereby reducing relative movement between signal modules in the housing. The signal modules may be mounted one by one in the housing, or may be stacked side by side and then mounted in the housing as a whole.

  • Publication number: 20150079844
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20140295705
    Abstract: 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.
