Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a base and a tongue protruding from the base, a metal casing surrounding the insulating body, multiple terminals grouped into upper and lower rows and fixedly at the insulating body, a shielding sheet disposed at the insulating body and located between the upper and lower rows of terminals, and a positioning member. A positioning slot is disposed at the base. A first buckling portion is disposed inside the positioning slot. Each terminal has a contact portion extending forward and exposed partially from the tongue, and a soldering portion extending backward out of the base. The shielding sheet has a reserved space corresponding to the positioning slot. The positioning member has multiple positioning holes for positioning the soldering portions, and a second buckling portion passing through the reserved space and fixed to the first buckling portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical connector, comprising:
an insulating body having a base and a tongue protruding forward from the base, wherein a positioning slot is disposed at the base, and a first buckling portion is disposed inside the positioning slot;
a metal casing, surrounding the insulating body;
a plurality of terminals, grouped into an upper row and a lower row and fixed at the insulating body, wherein each of the terminals has a contact portion extending forward and exposed partially from the tongue and a soldering portion extending backward out of the base;
a shielding sheet, disposed at the insulating body, and located between the upper row of terminals and the lower row of terminals, wherein the shielding sheet has a reserved space corresponding to the positioning slot; and
a positioning member, having a plurality of positioning holes and a second buckling portion, wherein the positioning holes are used for positioning the soldering portions, and the second buckling portion passes through the reserved space and is attached and fixed to the first buckling portion inside the positioning slot.

2. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the shielding sheet extends into the first buckling portion.

3. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the reserved space is a through hole.

4. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein there are two second buckling portions, respectively formed by extending upward from two sides of the positioning member.

5. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning slot passes throughout the base vertically.

6. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein a center of the tongue is lower than an upper surface of a circuit board by 0 mm to 0.62 mm.

7. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein a center of the tongue is higher than an upper surface of a circuit board by 0 mm to 1.48 mm.

8. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein a bending portion is respectively disposed on a left sidewall and a right sidewall of the metal casing to block a front end surface of the base.

9. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding sheet comprises a first shielding portion disposed at the tongue, a second shielding portion disposed at the base, and an inclined portion disposed between the first shielding portion and the second shielding portion.

10. The electrical connector according to claim 9 , wherein each of the terminals further comprises:
a horizontal section disposed at the base; and
an inclined section, located between the contact portion and the horizontal section, and disposed corresponding to the inclined portion.

11. An electrical connector, comprising:
an insulating body having a base and a tongue protruding forward from the base, wherein a positioning slot is disposed at the base, and a first buckling portion is disposed inside the positioning slot;
a metal casing, surrounding the insulating body;
a plurality of terminals, grouped into an upper row and a lower row and fixed at the insulating body;
a shielding sheet, disposed at the insulating body and located between the upper row of terminals and the lower row of terminals, wherein the shielding sheet has a reserved space corresponding to the positioning slot, and at least one part of the shielding sheet extends into the first buckling portion; and
a positioning member, having a plurality of positioning holes and a second buckling portion, wherein the positioning holes are used for positioning the terminals, and the second buckling portion passes through the reserved space and is attached to the first buckling portion inside the positioning slot, so that the positioning member is fixed in the insulating body.

12. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein the reserved space is a through hole.

13. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein there are two second buckling portions, respectively extending upward from two sides of the positioning member and being formed.

14. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein the positioning slot passes throughout the base vertically.

15. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein a center of the tongue is lower than an upper surface of a circuit board by 0 mm to 0.62 mm.

16. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein a center of the tongue is higher than an upper surface of a circuit board by 0 mm to 1.48 mm.

17. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein a bending portion is respectively disposed on a left sidewall and a right sidewall of the metal casing to block a front end surface of the base.

18. The electrical connector according to claim 11 , wherein the shielding sheet comprises a first shielding portion disposed at the tongue, a second shielding portion disposed at the base, and an inclined portion disposed between the first shielding portion and the second shielding portion.

19. The electrical connector according to claim 18 , wherein each of the terminals comprises:
a horizontal section disposed at the base; and
an inclined section, located between a contact portion of the terminal and the horizontal section, and disposed corresponding to the inclined portion.
