Electrical connector

Abstract

An electrical connector comprises: an insulating housing having an accommodating chamber at a rear portion thereof and a tongue plate protruding forwards from a front portion thereof; a plurality of conductive terminals comprising an upper row of conductive terminals and a lower row of conductive terminals which are mounted on upper and lower sides of the tongue plate respectively, each conductive terminal including a butting portion, a soldering portion, and a bending portion connected between the butting portion and the soldering portion, the butting portions of said upper row of conductive terminals and lower row of conductive terminals being mounted on the upper and lower sides of the tongue plate respectively, the soldering portions of each row of conductive terminals extending from below the rear portion of the insulating housing and being arranged in a front column and a rear column; a shielding casing covering periphery of the insulating housing; and two positioning modules being mounted into the accommodating chamber of the insulating housing and enveloping periphery of the bending portions of said plurality of conductive terminals. The electrical connector can efficiently prevent bending portions of the conductive terminals from further bending and contacting with each other when an external force is applied and thus can prevent the short circuit failure.
