It also shrinks. Therefore, the connection interface configured by the above-mentioned electronic products is also changed from the universal serial bus (USB) which is currently used to be a micro universal serial bus (Micro USB) interface. The input/output interface of the mobile device.

Changing the connection interface from the Universal Serial Bus (USB) to the micro-general sequence sink eliminates the size of the reduced electronics and allows the connection interface to be thinned to avoid It has an excessive effect on the thickness of the electronic device itself.

However, due to the customary relationship, the micro universal serial busbars provided by the above electronic products are mostly located at the top or bottom of the electronic device. However, for a particular electronic product (such as a satellite navigation machine), it is used differently than a general electronic device, and is used on a fixed frame when in use. Therefore, if the micro universal serial bus bar of the device is placed at the top or bottom of the electronic device, there is still inconvenience in use.

In order to solve the above problems, the manufacturer has designed an upright type electrical connector whose structure is to fix the electrical connector to the circuit board in an upright manner to meet the special needs of the electronic device such as a satellite navigation machine.

The present invention further provides an upright type electrical connector for vertically inserting on a circuit substrate, including a connector body, a two terminal set, and a housing. The connector body includes a first body having a first surface, and two tongues extending from the first surface; the two terminal sets respectively include a plurality of terminals coupled to the connector body, the plurality of terminals comprising a first terminal and a plurality of second terminals located on opposite sides of the first terminal, wherein one end of each of the two terminal groups passes through the first body and is respectively coupled to the bottom of the two tongues, and each of the terminals The other end is from the first body opposite to the first surface Extending, wherein the other end of the first terminal of each of the terminals has a first connecting segment connected to the first body and a first plug segment extending from the connecting segment, and a second terminal of each of the terminals The other end has a second connecting section connecting the first seat body, a curved section and a second plugging section, the curved section is connected to the second connecting section, and the second plugging section is connected to the curved section and parallel to the first a connecting portion, the curved portion is located between the second connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and is bent toward the two sides of the base; the housing has a hollow first receiving space, the housing The first accommodating space includes two accommodating regions that are connected to each other.
