Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrical connector includes a body with a tongue and the body supports a terminal module, the terminal module including a first row of terminals and a second row of terminals. Each terminal includes a contact portion and a soldering portion, the contact portions of the first and second row of terminals being disposed on an upper side and a lower side of the tongue, respectively, and the soldering portions of the first and second row of terminals each being arranged in a front column and a back column. A first and second positioning element can support the first and second rows of terminals, respectively. A shield that envelopes a periphery of the insulating body forms a contact chamber for accommodating the tongue. The front portion of the shield can be recessed into the circuit board to reduce the effective height of the connector and circuit board.
