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.

A single-row electrical wire structure includes a first circuit board and a wire assembly. A board-to-board connector is on the first circuit board. The first circuit board includes a first group of contacts arranged into a single row. A distance between center portions of adjacent two contacts of the first group of contacts forms a width. The wires assembly includes a plurality of high-speed signal pairs and at least one low-speed signal pair respectively connected to the first group of contacts. A first spacing between a contact in the first group of contacts corresponding to a first high-speed signal pair of the high-speed signal pairs and a contact in the first group of contacts corresponding to a second high-speed signal pair of the high-speed signal pairs adjacent to the first high-speed signal pair is at least equal to or greater than 2 times of the width.

Single-row electrical wire structure

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.

Electrical plug 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.

A dual-row cable structure is applied to a first circuit board and a second circuit board. A board-to-board connector is on the first circuit board, and the first circuit board includes a first group of contacts and a second group of contacts. An electrical connector is on the second circuit board. The second circuit board includes a third group of contacts and a fourth group of contacts. The dual-row cable structure includes a wire assembly including high-speed signal wires, low-speed signal wires, one or more power wires, and one or more ground wires. The high-speed signal wires are connected to the first group of contacts. The low-speed signal wires, the power wire, and the ground wire are respectively connected to the second group of contacts. The third group of contacts and the fourth group of contacts are respectively connected to the other end of the wire assembly.

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.

A shielding member includes a frame body and an outer cover. Two sides of a first end of the frame body respectively include a first shaft portion. Two sides of the frame body respectively include a first side plate. The frame body is covered by the outer cover. Two sides of a first end of the outer cover respectively include a second shaft portion, and each of the second shaft portions is pivotally connected to the corresponding first shaft portion. Two sides of the outer cover respectively include a second side plate, and each of the second side plates covers an outer side of the corresponding first side plate. Accordingly, the frame body and the outer cover are assembled to form a one-piece metallic shielding member. The structure of the shielding member is simple, the manufacturing for the shielding member is easy, and the cost for manufacturing the shielding member is reduced.
