Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulating body, a middle shielding sheet, an upper power terminal, a lower power terminal, and a cable. The middle shielding sheet is arranged in the insulating body, and has a base and an extending portion extending backward from the base. The extending portion is recessed with at least one yield slot. The upper power terminal extends to form an upper soldering portion entering a part above the yield slot. The lower power terminal extends to form a lower soldering portion entering a part below the yield slot. The cable has at least one power wire. The power wire has a wire core. The wire core enters the yield slot, extends to a part between the upper soldering portion and the lower soldering portion, and is soldered with the upper soldering portion and the lower soldering portion.
