Abstract
A tongue grounding structure is provided for a connector. The connector includes a connector body, at least one circuit board, and a metal shell. The circuit board is received in the connector body. The circuit board includes conductive traces formed thereon. The conductive traces are extended to form a contact point. The metal shell encloses the connector body, and includes at least one clamping section extending therefrom. The clamping section includes a first clamp plate and a second clamp plate. With the above described arrangement, to assemble the connector, the clamping section is set to resiliently clamp the contact point of the circuit board received in the connector body in order to realize electrical connection between a grounding wire and the metal shell.
