Abstract

An electrical connector plug for electrical connection to an electrical connector socket. The electrical connector plug includes: an insulation body extending in a longitudinal direction and including a base portion a mounting portion fixed to the base portion; two rows of resilient conductive terminals mounted in the insulation body and arranged symmetrically in pivotal rotation with respect to the longitudinal direction, each comprising a horizontal segment fixed on the base portion and a bended protrusion contact segment extending from the horizontal segment; an electrical conductive plate mounted on the mounting portion including a front segment and an impedance drop segment, extending from the front segment toward the base portion; and a shielding case mounted on the base portion and electrically connected to the metal housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical connector plug for electrical connection to an electrical connector socket, where the electrical connector socket has a metal housing and two sets of terminals mounted within the metal housing, wherein the electrical connector plug comprises:
an insulation body extending in a longitudinal direction, including a base portion, as well as a mounting portion fixed to the base portion and extending along the longitudinal direction;
two rows of resilient conductive terminals mounted in the insulation body and arranged symmetrically in pivotal rotation with respect to the longitudinal direction, each of the resilient conductive terminals comprising a horizontal segment fixed at least in part on the base portion of the insulation body, and a bended protrusion contact segment extending from the horizontal segment, wherein the horizontal segments are mutually parallel to each other, and the protrusion contact segments are adapted for abutting against and being electrically connected to the terminals of the electrical connector socket, each row of the resilient conductive terminals comprising at least a pair of high frequency signal terminals for high frequency signal transmissions;
an electrical conductive plate mounted on the mounting portion, comprising:
a front segment remote from the base portion; and
at least one impedance drop segment, extending from the front segment toward the base portion and at least partially shielding the high frequency signal terminals, thereby lowering the transmission impedance of the high frequency signal terminals; and

a shielding case, mounted on the base portion and electrically connected to the metal housing.

2. The electrical connector plug according to claim 1 , wherein each row of the resilient conductive terminals comprises two pairs of the high frequency signal terminals, and the impedance drop segments comprise two metal plates extending from the front segment to the base portion.

3. The electrical connector plug according to claim 2 , wherein each of the metal plates has a width that covers one pair of the high frequency signal terminals.

4. The electrical connector plug according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board for being electrically connected to the horizontal segments of the resilient conductive terminals, said circuit board comprising a front side, a rear side and two lateral sides connecting the front side to the rear side.

5. The electrical connector plug according to claim 4 , further comprising a metal conductive case, wherein the metal conductive case comprises an upper housing and a lower housing, and the upper and the lower housings each has two welding points corresponding to the two lateral sides of the circuit board, so that the upper housing, the lower housing and the circuit board can be welded conjunctively.

6. The electrical connector plug according to claim 1 , wherein the base portion of the insulation body is formed with multiple guiding grooves for positioning the horizontal segments of the resilient conductive terminals.

7. The electrical connector plug according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductive plate is formed by press molding.
