An electrical connector and an electrical connector assembly are disclosed. The electrical connector comprises an insulating housing and a plurality of terminal columns arranged to the insulating housing. Each terminal column comprises a plurality of ground terminals and a plurality of differential signal terminal pairs alternately arranged along a first direction. Each ground terminal has a body portion and two elastic contact portions extending from the body portion and spaced apart from each other. Each signal terminal of each differential signal terminal pair has a body portion and an elastic contact portion extending from the body portion The terminal columns are arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and are spaced apart from each other, and the differential signal terminal pair of each terminal column corresponds to the ground terminal of the adjacent terminal column in position in the second direction, an orthogonal projection of each differential signal terminal pair of each terminal column along the second direction is positioned within a range which is covered by a width of the corresponding ground terminal of the adjacent terminal column.

Electrical connector and electrical connector assembly

An electrical connection device and a board-to-board electrical connection assembly, the board-to-board electrical connection assembly comprises an electrical connection device, a first circuit board and a second circuit board. The electrical connection device comprises a support frame and an adapter circuit board, the support frame has a top portion and a bottom portion. The adapter circuit board comprises an upper end portion retained to the top portion of the support frame, a lower end portion retained to the bottom portion of the support frame and a side portion positioned between the upper end portion and the lower end portion, the upper end portion comprises a first connector, the lower end portion comprises a second connector. The first circuit board is provided with a first mating connector for mating with the first connector. The second circuit board is provided with a second mating connector for mating with the second connector.

Board-to-board connecting system

An electrical connector comprises a body, a terminal positioning member provided at a rear end of the body and a first group of terminals mounted in terminal grooves of the body. The terminal positioning member comprises a first spacing rib and a second spacing rib. The first group of terminals comprises signal terminals and ground terminals. The signal terminals and the ground terminals each comprise a contact portion, a retaining portion and a tail portion, the retaining portion connecting the contact portion and the positioning portion, the positioning portion connecting the retaining portion and the tail portion. The first spacing rib extends between the positioning portions of the adjacent signal terminals, the second spacing rib extends between the positioning portion of the signal terminal and the positioning portion of the adjacent ground terminal and the first spacing rib is longer than the second spacing rib.
