Abstract

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, a plurality of plug terminals, a plurality of tooth portions, and a wire organizer. The insulated housing is received in the metallic shell. The plug terminals are held at the insulated housing. Each of the power terminal and the ground terminal of the plug terminals includes a clamping structure. Each of the tooth portions is extending from rear of the corresponding plug terminal. The wire organizer is assembled to the insulated housing. Each of the tooth portions is inserted into the corresponding wire groove of the wire organizer to connect to a corresponding wire when the wires held in the wire organizer are pressed against the tooth portions. Each power and ground terminals may include either a single one or a pair of flexible contact portions.
