An electrical connector is provided that includes an insulative body, an upper terminal module, and a lower terminal module. The upper terminal module and the lower terminal module are provided to the insulative body. The upper terminal module includes a plurality of upper terminals and an upper insulative frame, the plurality of upper terminals include multiple upper signal terminals and at least one upper ground terminal. Each upper terminal has an upper vertical segment, an upper horizontal segment and an upper bending segment connected between the upper vertical segment and the upper horizontal segment, the upper vertical segment has a first upper held portion and an upper soldering portion, the upper horizontal segment has a second upper held portion and an upper cantilevered arm portion. The upper insulative frame has a first embedding portion which embeds the first upper held portion and a second embedding portion which embeds the second upper held portion.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a connector for high-speed transmission to be fitted with an external counterpart connector includes a housing and a plurality of terminals. The housing has at least one or more slots. The plurality of terminals includes ground terminals and signal terminals are arranged in the slot along a first direction orthogonal to a fitting direction of the connector. Partition walls are provided between adjacent terminals in the slot, and a height of the partition walls between the ground terminals and the signal terminals in the fitting direction is lower than a height of other partition walls in the fitting direction.

A direct mate orthogonal connector for a high density of high speed signals. The connector may include right angle leadframe assemblies with signal conductive elements and ground shields held by a leadframe housing. High frequency performance may be achieved with members on the leadframe that transfer force between a connector housing, holding the leadframe assemblies, and a portion of the leadframe housing holding the signal conductive elements and the shields near their mounting ends. Core members may be inserted into the housing and mating ends of the conductive elements of ground shields may be adjacent the core members, enabling electrical and mechanical performance of the mating interface to be defined by the core members. The core members may incorporate insulative and lossy features that may be complex to form as part of the connector housing but may be readily formed as part of a separate core member.

An electrical connector includes at least one terminal assembly. The terminal assembly includes: a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal being narrow-edge coupled; and an insulating block fixing the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. A length of the first signal terminal is greater than a length of the second signal terminal. A first connecting portion of the first signal terminal is provided with at least one exposing area, which is exposed to the insulating block and exposed in air medium. The first connecting portion has at least one widening portion and at least one narrow portion connected to each other along a length direction thereof. A width of the widening portion is greater than a width of the narrow portion. The exposing area is provided at the widening portion. A second connecting portion of the second signal terminal is completely wrapped in the insulating block.

A high-speed connector includes an insulating housing, a first terminal assembly received in the insulating housing, a second terminal assembly received in the insulating housing, a third terminal assembly received in the insulating housing, and a fourth terminal assembly received in the insulating housing. The second terminal assembly is opposite to the first terminal assembly along an up-down direction. The third terminal assembly is disposed between the first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly. The fourth terminal assembly is corresponding to the third terminal assembly. The fourth terminal assembly is disposed between the second terminal assembly and the third terminal assembly.

A shielding electrical terminal is presented herein. The shielding electrical terminal includes a securing portion that is configured to attach to an outer shield conductor of a shielded cable and a cylindrical mating portion having an inner surface configured to make electrical contact with a corresponding cylindrical shield terminal inserted within the mating portion. The inner surface of the mating portion defines a plurality of protrusions that extend from the inner surface.

A high-speed connector includes an insulating housing, and at least one terminal assembly disposed in the insulating housing. The at least one terminal assembly includes a base body, a plurality of terminals fastened to the base body, and a metal block. A surface of the base body is recessed inward to form a fastening groove. The plurality of the terminals include a plurality of grounding terminals and differential signal terminals. Each of the plurality of the grounding terminals and the differential signal terminals has a fastening portion. The fastening portions of at least several of the plurality of the grounding terminals and the differential signal terminals are exposed to the fastening groove. The metal block is fastened in the fastening groove. The fastening portions of the grounding terminals which are exposed to the fastening groove are electrically connected with the metal block to form a grounding structure.

A connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly allows a conductive terminal to provide shielding to reduce any effect of external interference on signal transmission of the connector assembly so as to meet signal transmission requirements for the connector assembly, and with the use of a jumper conductor, at least partial conductive terminals on the connector assembly can be electrically interconnected with no need of any additional jumper, such that an electronic device using such connector assembly can be made compact in size desirably.

An electrical interconnection system comprising one or more insulative projecting members. The electrical interconnection system may comprise a first connector and a second connector. Each connector may comprise one or more projecting members extending along the mating direction. When the connectors are mated, the projecting member(s) may be configured to affect the impedance of the signal conductors of the connectors. In a partially mated position, the projecting member(s) may be configured to fill at least a portion of the region separating the connectors, thereby replacing air that might otherwise exist in that separation with a dielectric member. Because this dielectric constant is closer to what would be experienced in the fully mated position, the magnitude of the change in impedance as a result of separation may be less than had the entire space been filled with air.
