An electrical connector for connecting with an electrical card comprises a plurality of signal terminal modules and at least one ground terminal. Each of the plurality of signal terminal modules having a pair of signal terminal and an insulation body. Each of the pair of signal terminals include a first contact portion, a first securing portion, and a first connection portion positioned between the first contact portion and the first securing portion. The insulation body is overmolded to each first connection portion of the pair of signal terminals. The ground terminal includes a pair of second contact portions, a second securing portion, and a second connection portion positioned between the pair of second contact portions and the second securing portion. The insulation body includes openings positioned to correspond to each of the pair of signal terminals, with a portion of each of the pair of signal terminals is exposed.

Electrical connector

An electrical connector has at least two contact assemblies spaced apart from each other by a first distance to receive corresponding one of at least two plug conductors being spaced apart from each other by a second distance. Each of the at least two contact assemblies includes a pair of contact members for contacting one corresponding plug conductor, and a clamping member configured to clamp the pair of contact members to apply a holding force onto the pair of contact members and the corresponding plug conductor. The clamping member is inserted through the pair of contact members in a direction opposite to a mating direction, and the clamping member and the pair of contact members are adapted to swing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the mating direction in order to compensate for a difference between the first and second distances.
