An electrical connector for connecting a cable, includes an insulating body and a first terminal group received in the insulating body. The first terminal group includes a ground terminal, a power terminal, and first and second high-speed signal terminals. The first high-speed signal terminal has a first contacting portion, a first bending portion and a first soldering portion from front to rear. The extending direction of the first bending portion is different from that of the first contacting portion. The second high-speed signal terminal has a second contacting portion, a second bending portion, a reverse bending portion and a second soldering portion from front to rear. The second bending portion extends in a bending direction toward the first bending portion. The reverse bending portion reversely bends from the second bending portion. The spacing between the first and second soldering portions and the space for accommodating the cable are enlarged.

A card holding member includes: a front frame portion and a rear frame portion extending in the transverse direction, and side frame portions connecting both ends of the front frame portion and both ends of the rear frame portion, the side surfaces of a card including terminal members arranged on a terminal accommodating surface being surrounded thereby; and a metal portion and a resin portion, at least a portion of the metal portion being exposed at the front end of the front frame portion.

An electronic card connector, defining an insertion direction, an ejection direction, and a transverse direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, includes an insulative housing and a number of terminals retained in the insulative housing. The terminals include a row of first contacts disposed along the insertion direction. Each first contact has a first affixed portion and a first contacting portion located at a peak therein. Each of the first contacts extends along the transverse direction. The first contacting portions of the neighboring first contacts are located offset along the insertion direction. The first contacting portions and associated first affixed portions of the first contacts are distanced differently in the transverse direction.

A first connector and a second connector of this connector assembly can mutually connect along the vertical direction. The first connector comprises a first housing provided with a sliding surface, a locking surface, and a receiving surface. The locking surface intersects, at an angle of 90° or less, with a line segment extending straight upward from the locking surface. The second connector comprises a second housing provided with a spring section and a locked section. The locked section can move forward and backward as the spring section elastically deforms. The locked section has a locked surface. When the second connector is in a separated state of being separated from the first connector, the locked surface intersects, at an angle of 90° or less, with a line segment extending straight upward from the locked surface. In a fitting step, the locked section moves downward while being pressed against the sliding surface. The locked section abuts the receiving surface upon moving downward on the sliding surface.

A first housing of a first connector has a first end wall which is located downward of a first accommodation portion in an up-down direction. When viewed from beneath along the up-down direction, the first end wall hides, in part, a first contact located in the first accommodation portion. A second housing has a second end wall which is located upward of a second accommodation portion in the up-down direction. When viewed from above along the up-down direction, the second end wall hides a second contact located in the second accommodation portion. The first end wall prevents a finger of an operator from coming into contact with the first contact, and the second end wall prevents the finger of the operator from coming into contact with the second contact.

An electrical connector electrically connects a first electrical module and a second electrical module, for insertion by the first electrical module along a first direction. The electrical connector includes a first group of terminals arranged in a row along a second direction, having multiple signal terminals and multiple ground terminals and forming at least one first terminal unit and at least one second terminal unit. Each of the terminals has a contact portion, a tail portion, and a middle portion located between the contact portion and the tail portion. In the second direction, the middle portions of the first terminal unit form a first row of the middle portions, and the middle portions of the second terminal unit form a second row of the middle portions. Viewing from the second direction, the first and second rows of the middle portions are staggered, thus improving the crosstalk.

To provide a connector that is compact and reliable and can easily be produced, in addition to achieving narrow spacing between protruding parts having a plurality of terminals mounted thereto. Such a connector is therefore provided that includes half body parts, each of which includes a connector main body and a plurality of terminals mounted to the connector main body, and a main body end part formed on each end of the connector main body with the connector main bodies of the half body parts opposite each other. The connector main body is an integrated member and includes a protruding part that extends in the longitudinal direction thereof and holds the terminals, along with an embedded part connected to each end in the longitudinal direction of the protruding part. The main body end part includes a cover part that covers at least part of the embedded part of the connector main body. The cover part is a member integrated with the embedded part.

A connector assembly (10) is disclosed in which a connector part (12) and a cable manager part (20) are provided. The cable manager part (20) can be provided with a rear housing (40), a lacing fixture part (30), and a grounding part (50). In one aspect, the grounding part (50) provides grounding contact between an inserted cable (4) and the connector part (12). In one aspect, the grounding part (50) secures the connector part (12) to the rear housing part (40). In one example, a connector assembly (110) is provided with a grounding arrangement (150) including a plurality of deflectable grounding members (152) and provides grounding contact between the inserted cable (4) and the connector part (112). In one aspect, the grounding members (152) each provide two points of contact against the cable (4).
