Abstract

A standing-type electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, and an outer shell. The metallic shell defines a receiving cavity therein. The insulated housing is received in the receiving cavity and includes a base portion and a tongue portion extending from one side of the base portion. The outer shell includes a sleeve enclosing the metallic shell, two or more extending sheets respectively extending from two sides of the sleeve, and two or more positioning portions at the extending sheets. The extending sheets are abutted against a circuit board. The circuit board defines positioning holes positioned with the positioning portions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A standing-type electrical receptacle connector, comprising:
a metallic shell defining a receiving cavity therein; an insulated housing received in the receiving cavity, wherein the insulated housing comprises a base portion and a tongue portion extending from one side of the base portion, wherein the tongue portion has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the upper surface is opposite to the lower surface; a plurality of upper-row receptacle terminals comprising a plurality of upper signal pairs, at least one power terminal, and at least one ground terminal, wherein each of the upper-row receptacle terminals is held in the insulated housing and disposed at the upper surface; and a plurality of lower-row receptacle terminals comprising a plurality of lower signal pairs, at least one power terminal, and at least one ground terminal, wherein each of the lower-row receptacle terminals is held in the insulated housing and disposed at the lower surface; and an outer shell comprising a sleeve enclosing the metallic shell, at least two extending sheets respectively extending from two sides of the sleeve, and at least two positioning portions at the respective extending sheets.

2 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the insulated housing comprises an upper base and a lower base, the upper base and the lower base are extending out of the metallic shell, and wherein the outer shell comprises a covering plate at the rear of the sleeve to cover the upper base and the lower base.

3 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 2 , wherein each of the positioning portions comprises at least one leg extending outward from the side portion of the covering plate.

4 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 2 , wherein each of the positioning portions comprises a lock hole formed on the covering plate.

5 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 2 , wherein each of the positioning portions comprises at least one leg extending outward from the side portion of the covering plate and a lock hole formed on the covering plate.

6 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board assembled on the base portion, wherein each of the extending sheets is abutted against the circuit board, and wherein the circuit board comprises at least two positioning holes, the positioning holes are respectively positioned with the positioning portions.

7 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 6 , wherein the insulated housing comprises at least one extending portion extending outward from one side of the base portion, and the extending portion defines a through hole corresponding one of the positioning holes.

8 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the upper-row receptacle terminals and the lower-row receptacle terminals have 180 degree symmetrical design with respect to a central point of the receiving cavity as the symmetrical center.

9 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the position of the upper-row receptacle terminals corresponds to the position of the lower-row receptacle terminals.

10 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the upper-row receptacle terminals comprises a flat contact portion, a body portion, and a tail portion, wherein the body portion is held in the base portion and disposed at the upper surface of the tongue portion, the flat contact portion is extending forward from the body portion in the rear-to-front direction and partly exposed upon the upper surface of the tongue portion, and the tail portion is extending backward from the body portion in the front-to-rear direction and protruded from the base portion.

11 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the lower-row receptacle terminals comprises a flat contact portion, a body portion, and a tail portion, wherein the body portion is held in the base portion and disposed at the lower surface of the tongue portion, the flat contact portion is extending forward from the body portion in the rear-to-front direction and partly exposed upon the lower surface of the tongue portion, and the tail portion is extending backward from the body portion in the front-to-rear direction and protruded from the base portion.

12 . The standing-type electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a grounding plate disposed at the insulated housing and between the upper-row receptacle terminals and the lower-row receptacle terminals.
