A connector includes a connector body and a terminal attached to the connector body, the connector being fitted with a counterpart connector, the connector body includes a recess being fitted with a counterpart connector body of the counterpart connector and side walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the connector body, the side walls defining both sides of the recess. The terminal includes a plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls, and the plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls include one high frequency terminal and ground terminals disposed on both sides of the high frequency terminal. In plan view, a straight line connecting high frequency terminals disposed along both the side walls is inclined with respect to a center line of the connector body in a width direction, and a shield plate of the counterpart connector is extends along the center line.

An electrical connector is provided. The electrical connector includes a metal plate, a first-row terminal assembly, and a second-row terminal assembly. A hollow area of the metal plate has a first projection area on a projection plane that is parallel to the metal plate, and a contact area of the second power terminal set has a second projection area overlapping the first projection area on the projection plane. The first projection area has a first border line and a second border line. The second projection area has a third border line and a fourth border line. The first border line and the third border line have a first projection distance therebetween. The second border line and the fourth border line have a second projection distance therebetween. The first projection distance and the second projection distance are both 0.2 mm or more.

A signal transmission circuit packaging structure is disclosed. The signal transmission circuit packaging structure includes a body, a main circuit unit, power pins, input pins, output pins, control pins and ground pins. The main circuit unit is arranged in the center of the body. The power pins are arranged in the center of the body. The input pins are arranged at a first side of the body and are electrically connected to the main circuit unit. The output pins are arranged at a side of the body opposite to the first side and are electrically connected to the main circuit unit. The control pins are arranged at a second side of the body and are electrically connected to the main circuit unit. The ground pins are arranged at corners of the body to separate the input pins, the output pins and the control pins.

A USB Type-C male connector includes a first terminal assembly including a plurality of first pins and a second terminal assembly including a plurality of second pins.
