Abstract

An electrical connector including: an insulative housing; and plural conductive terminals contained in the insulating housing, the conductive terminals being arranged in a row along a transverse direction, each of the conductive terminals including a mating portion and a tail portion opposite to the mating portion, the conductive terminals including a pair of ground terminals and a pair of signal terminals disposed between the pair of ground terminals, wherein a center distance between adjacent tail portions of the conductive terminals is not equal.

First claim

1 . An electrical connector comprising:
an insulative housing; and a plurality of conductive terminals contained in the insulating housing, the plurality of conductive terminals being arranged in a row along a transverse direction, each of the conductive terminals including a mating portion and a tail portion opposite to the mating portion, the plurality of conductive terminals including a pair of ground terminals and a pair of signal terminals disposed between the pair of ground terminals; wherein a center distance between adjacent tail portions of the conductive terminals is not equal.

2 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the ground terminals has multiple tails, and each of the signal terminals has only one tail.

3 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein there is a first center distance between the tail portions of a pair of signal terminals, and a second center distance between the tail portions of the ground terminal and the tail portions of the adjacent signal terminals, the first center distance being smaller than the second center distance.

4 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first center distance is not greater than 0.5 mm, and the second center distance is not less than 0.65 mm.

5 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first center distance is 0.5 mm, and the second center distance is 0.65 mm.

6 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first center distance is 0.4 mm, and the second center distance is 0.7 mm.

7 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each of the ground terminal has two tail portions, and there is a third center distance between the two tail portions of one ground terminal, the third center distance being greater than the first center distance and less than the second center distance.

8 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the third center distance is 0.6 mm.

9 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein there is a fourth center distance between the mating portions of a pair of signal terminals and a fifth center distance between the mating portion of a ground terminal and the mating portion of the adjacent signal terminal, and the fourth center distance is greater than the fifth center distance.

10 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the fourth center distance is 0.89 mm, and the fifth center distance is 0.76 mm.

11 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulative housing includes a body part and an upper cover that cooperates with the body part.

12 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the body part has a mating slot, a top wall is provided on the upper side of the mating slot, a bottom wall is provided on the lower side of the mating slot, and two side walls connect the top wall and the bottom wall.

13 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the upper cover has outwardly protruding ribs on two sides thereof in the transverse direction, each of the protruding ribs has a convex bump protruding upward, and the side wall has a locking groove interfere fit with the convex bump.

14 . The electrical connector as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the interference between the convex bump and the locking groove is about 0.16 mm.
