That is, the adjacent pair of the ground terminal bodies 110 are located at a first side and a second side of the mating signal terminal 121, and the shielding part 114 is located at a third side of the mating signal terminal 121, the first side and the second side being opposite to each other, and the third side being perpendicular to the first side. This arrangement provides a better shielding effect of the inter-fitting ground terminal assembly 11.
Referring to fig. 1 to 2, when the electrical connector 2 is assembled into the space 104 of the mating electrical connector 1, the rib 1030 of the mating electrical connector 1 is assembled into the receiving portion 2032 of the electrical connector 2. It is effectively ensured that the third contact portions 1210 of the mating signal terminals 121 of the mating electrical connector 1 are aligned with and electrically connected to the first contact portions 21021 of the signal terminals 2102 of the electrical connector 2, and the second upper contact portions 1102 of the mating ground terminal body 110 of the mating electrical connector 1 are aligned with and electrically connected to the first upper contact portions 21112 of the ground terminal body 21110 of the electrical connector 2. At the same time, positioning the electrical connector 2 to the mating electrical connector 1 prevents wobbling of the electrical connector 2.
The shielding plates 21116 of the ground terminal assembly 2111 of the present application connect an adjacent pair of the ground terminal bodies 21110 and form recesses 21111, so that the ground terminal assembly 2111 has a better shielding effect. One or more of the ground terminal bodies 21110 in the ground terminal assemblies 2111 can be disconnected from the other ground terminal bodies 21110, so as to achieve the purposes of shunting and transmitting various signals or power sources, i.e., the disconnected ground terminal bodies 21110 can be used as signal terminals, thereby meeting various requirements of customers.
Although the present application has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, and all changes, substitutions and alterations that fall within the spirit and scope of the application are to be understood as being covered by the following claims.
