Abstract

The present disclosure disclosed a terminal assembly comprising a first terminal module and an electric conductive part. The first terminal module comprises a plurality of first ground terminals and a plurality of first signal terminals. At least one first signal terminal is provided between two adjacent first ground terminals. The electric conductive part is disposed on the first terminal module. The first signal terminal is closer to a surface of the electric conductive part than the first ground terminal. The electric conductive part is distancing from both the first signal terminal and the first ground terminal while the first signal terminals are closer to the electric conductive part than the first ground terminals, the electric conductive part and the ground terminal could surround the first signal terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

an electric conductive part disposed on the first terminal module, wherein the plurality of first signal terminals are closer to a surface of the electric conductive part than the plurality of first ground terminals, and the electric conductive part is close to but not contact with the first signal terminals of the first terminal module; and
a second terminal module, comprising a plurality of second ground terminals and a plurality of second signal terminals, wherein at least one of the plurality of second signal terminals is provided between two adjacent second ground terminals, the second terminal module is disposed on the first terminal module, the plurality of second ground terminals is opposite to the plurality of first ground terminals, and the plurality of second signal terminals is opposite to the plurality of first signal terminals;
wherein the electric conductive part comprises a plurality of first electric conductors and a plurality of second electric conductors; the plurality of first electric conductors are disposed at intervals; each of the plurality of first electric conductors is disposed between the at least one first signal terminal and the at least one second signal terminal opposite to the first signal terminals; the first ground terminals and the plurality of second ground terminals opposite to the plurality of first ground terminals correspond to an interval between two adjacent first electric conductors; two ends of the at least one second electric conductor is connected to two adjacent first electric conductors; and each of the second electric conductors is disposed between the first ground terminals and the second ground terminals opposite to the first ground terminals.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein two first signal terminals are provided between two adjacent first ground terminals.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the electric conductive part is disposed between the first terminal module and the second terminal module; the plurality of second signal terminals is closer to the electric conductive part than the plurality of second ground terminals but does not contact the surface of the second terminal module.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the distance between a surface of the second electric conductors close to the first ground terminals and the first ground terminals is greater than the distance between a surface of the first electric conductors close to the first signal terminals and the first signal terminals.

5. The terminal according to claim 2 further comprising a plurality of insulation parts provided in a gap between each of the first electric conductors and the at least one corresponding first signal terminal.

6. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein each of the insulation parts covers the at least one corresponding first signal terminals.

7. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein each of the insulation parts covers the first electric conductors.

8. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the gap between each of the first electrical conductors and the at least one corresponding first signal terminals is an air gap.

9. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the electric conductive part is a solid metal piece.

10. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the electric conductive part comprises an insulation block and a metal layer covering an outer surface of the insulation block.

11. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the electric conductive part is made of electrically lossy materials.

12. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first terminal module further comprises a first signal insulation holding part and a first ground insulation holding part; the plurality of first signal terminals is disposed in the first signal insulation holding part; the plurality of first ground terminals is disposed in the first ground insulation holding part; the first ground insulation holding part is assembled to the first signal insulation holding part.
