Abstract

An electrical receptacle connector includes a shielding shell, an insulation housing and a plurality of terminals. The insulation housing is arranged inside the shielding shell and has a tongue portion extending to the outside of the shielding shell. The terminals are arranged at the insulation housing, and each terminal has a contact segment and a soldering segment. The contact segment is located on the tongue portion and protrudes from therefrom, the soldering segment extends from the insulation housing for a distance. The soldering segments are coplanar.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical receptacle connector, comprising:
a shielding shell;
an insulation housing arranged inside the shielding shell and having a tongue portion extending to the outside of the shielding shell;
a plurality of terminals arranged at the insulation housing, wherein each of the terminals has a contact segment and a soldering segment, the contact segment is located on the tongue portion and protrudes from the tongue portion by a distance, the soldering segment extends out the insulation housing, and the soldering segments are coplanar; and
a shielding plate embedded inside the tongue portion of the insulation housing and located between the terminals which are located on two surfaces of the tongue portion.

2. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , comprising:
a locking element connected to the shielding shell and having a pair of locking holes for being locked to a rigid circuit board.

3. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 2 , wherein the locking element further comprises a pair of positioning pieces for clamping the shielding shell.

4. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 3 , wherein the shielding shell has a pair of positioning portions, each of the positioning pieces has a positioning hole, and the pair of positioning portions are fitted with the positioning holes respectively.

5. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the terminals has an extension segment located inside the insulation housing, connected to the contact segment and the soldering segment of the terminal and inclined with respect to the contact segment and the soldering segment of the terminal.

6. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 5 , wherein the shielding shell has a rear cover portion, and the rear cover portion has a cover inclined surface parallel to the extension segments.

7. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 5 , wherein the insulation housing further has a base portion, the tongue portion extends from the base portion to the outside of the shielding shell, the terminals are arranged at the base portion and the tongue portion, the soldering segments extend from the base portion, and the base portion has a base inclined surface parallel to the extension segments.

8. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a sealing ring, the insulation housing having a ring-shaped groove, and the sealing ring being arranged in the ring-shaped groove and tightly fitted with the shielding shell.

9. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 8 , wherein the sealing ring is a rubber ring arranged around the ring-shaped groove.

10. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 8 , wherein the sealing ring is a filler injected into the ring-shaped groove.

11. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 10 , wherein the insulation housing further has an inlet communicating with the ring-shaped groove for injecting the filler.

12. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical receptacle connector complies with a USB Type-C standard.
