Metallic shell for an electrical connector

An electrical receptacle connector is enclosed by an outer shell. The outer shell includes a rear covering plate, side plates, and top plates. Two turned portions are at two sides of the rear covering plate. The side plates outwardly extend from the turned portions, respectively. Each of the top plates is bent from a top portion of the corresponding side plate and extends away from the corresponding side plate. The rear covering plate and the side plates are integrally formed as a one-piece member. Hence, the steps of manufacturing process for the connector can be reduced, the production of defective products can be reduced, and the structural strength of the connector can be improved. Moreover, numbers of holes or cracks between the rear covering plate and each of the side plates can be reduced, thereby reducing the EMI issue.

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated member, plug terminals, and grounding members. The insulated member is in the metallic shell. The plug terminals are held in the insulated member. The grounding members and the insulated member are molded as a one-piece member, thereby reducing the production steps as well as reducing production of defect products. Moreover, the first curved contact portion extends toward the metallic shell and effectively contacts the metallic shell, and the second curved contact portion extends toward the ground terminal and effectively contacts the ground terminal.

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.

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, a first insulated housing in the metallic shell, and a second insulated housing in the metallic shell. The first tail portions of the first terminals are divided into a first tail group and a second tail group. The second insulated housing and the first insulated housing are combined with each other. Each of the second terminals includes a second tail portion between the first tail group and the second tail group. The second tail portions and the first tail portions are aligned at a same horizontal height.

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell and first and second insulated housings in the metallic shell. An insertion cavity is between an inner side of an assembly of the first insulated housing and the second insulated housing. The first terminals, from right to left, include a rightmost first ground terminal, a pair of first high-speed signal terminals, a first power terminal, a first function detection terminal, a pair of first low-speed signal terminals, and a leftmost first ground terminal. First flexible contact portions of the first terminals are in the insertion cavity. The second terminals, from right to left, include a second power terminal, a pair of second high-speed signal terminals, and a second power terminal. Second flexible contact portions of the second terminals are in the insertion cavity.

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing in the metallic shell, plug terminals held in the insulated housing, and a hook member. Hook portions of the hook member extend into the insertion cavity of the insulated housing. Each hook portion forms a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion. When the electrical plug connector is mated with an electrical receptacle connector, the electrical plug connector can be positioned with the electrical receptacle connector through multiple contacts, thereby preventing the electrical plug connector from shaking.
