The holes 411 and the second free ends 321 are partially received in the through-openings 411 of the plate body 41.

It should be noted that the plate body 41 is provided with a through hole 411 which has a function of adjusting impedance. In order to clearly show the effect of adjusting the impedance, the electrical connector 100 of the present embodiment and an electrical connector (not shown) in which the through-opening 411 is not formed are subjected to a simulation test, and the final simulation test result is shown in FIG. 9. Shown. The curve C3 represents the simulation test result of the electrical connector 100 of the present embodiment, and the curve C4 represents the electrical connector simulation test result in which the through-opening 411 is not formed.

As shown in FIG. 6C and FIG. 6D, the two protruding pieces 42 are formed from the opposite side edges of the plate body 41 and protruded from the groove bottom of the receiving groove 1523 on the two side faces 13 of the rear section 152 of the tongue plate 15, further In other words, each of the protruding pieces 42 is integrally formed from the plate body 41 and bent 180 degrees upward so that the outer surface of each of the protruding pieces 42 away from the plate body 41 has an arc shape, thereby making each protruding piece 42 has a better guiding and fastening effect.

As shown in FIG. 5D, the two longitudinal shielding sheets 43 are embedded in the insulative housing 1 and located between the first column R1 and the third column R3, and the two longitudinal shielding sheets 43 are disposed on the second column R2. And respectively located on opposite outer sides of the first connecting segments 23 of the pair of first inner signal terminals 2a. In more detail, the longitudinal shielding sheet 43 is located between the two adjacent first ground terminals 2c and the first connecting portion 23 of the first power terminal 2d, and any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 is in the longitudinal direction L. Is a second connecting section 33 substantially located on a pair of second outer signal terminals 3b and the pair of first outer sides adjacent thereto Between the first connecting sections 23 of the signal terminals 2b, the second connecting sections 33 of the two pairs of second outer signal terminals 3b are respectively connected to the two pairs of first outer signal terminals 2b via the two longitudinal shielding sheets 43 The first connecting section 23 produces at least partial shielding, thereby reducing the crosstalk of the differential signals.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 can be disposed in the longitudinal shielding layer as long as it can shield the corresponding first connecting segments 23 of the pair of first outer signal terminals 2b corresponding to the longitudinal direction L. The second connecting section 33 of the pair of second outer signal terminals 3b on the opposite sides of the strip 43 and the first connecting section 23 of the pair of first outer signal terminals 2b are electrically shielded. In the present embodiment, the length L ₄₃ of any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 in the thickness direction T is substantially 60% of the length L ₃₃ of any of the second connecting segments 33 in the thickness direction T.

Further, the upper limit of the length of any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 in the thickness direction T is roughly as follows: one end of any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 away from the plate body 41 (as shown in the bottom end of the longitudinal shielding sheet 43 in Fig. 5C), along the edge thereof with respect to the thickness direction T and the distance D 31 is adjacent to the second extension ₄₃ is no greater than any one of the second connecting section 33 with respect to the length in the thickness direction T L _33. Wherein, when the circuit on the surface of the circuit board (not shown) on which the electrical connector 100 is mounted is considered, the vertical shielding piece 43 is prevented from touching the circuit board surface (ie, corresponding to the second connecting section 33 in FIG. 5C). The line on the plane where the bottom end is located. Therefore, the bottom end of any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 preferably has a gap of 2 to 3 mm from the surface of the circuit board on which it is mounted, that is, the distance D _{43 is} preferably less than the length L _{33 by} about 2 to 3. PCT.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5D, the width W _{43 of} any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 in the width direction W is not less than (eg, greater than) the adjacent second outer signal terminals 3b adjacent thereto in this embodiment. The width of the outer edge of the second connecting section 33 is the distance D _3b , so that the longitudinal shielding sheet 43 can be provided with a better shielding effect. However, in another embodiment not shown, the width W _{43 of} any of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 in the width direction W may be greater than the first connection of the pair of first outer signal terminals 2b adjacent thereto. The width of the outer edge of the segment 23 is not limited herein. In summary, the width W ₄₃ of any longitudinal shielding piece 43 of the connecting section in the width direction W is not less than the minimum width among the width distances of the outer edges of the connecting sections 23, 33 of the pair of outer signal terminals 2b, 3b. distance.

Accordingly, in order to clearly show the effects that the two longitudinal shielding sheets 43 can produce, the electrical connector 100 of the present embodiment and an electrical connector (not shown) in which the two longitudinal shielding sheets 43 are not formed are simulated. The test is performed by inputting a detection signal from the first external signal terminal 2b and measuring the adjacent second external signal terminal 3b, so as to know the degree of interference of the second external signal terminal 3b.

The final simulation test results are shown in FIG. 10, in which curve C5 represents the simulation test result of the electrical connector 100 of the present embodiment, and curve C6 represents the electrical connector simulation test result in which the two longitudinal shield sheets 43 are not formed. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that the electrical connector 100 of the present embodiment can effectively reduce the crosstalk of the differential signal in the longitudinal direction L by providing the two longitudinal shielding sheets 43.

In addition, the inner grounding piece 4 is exemplified by the provision of two longitudinal shielding sheets 43, but the number of the longitudinal shielding sheets 43 can also be adjusted according to different needs. For example, the inner grounding lug 4 may also be provided with only a single longitudinal shielding sheet 43.

In more detail, the two pins 44 are respectively located on opposite outer sides of the first connecting segments 23 of the two first ground terminals 2c. The length of each of the pins 44 in the thickness direction T is substantially equal to the length of any of the first connecting segments 23 in the thickness direction T, and the width of each of the pins 44 in the longitudinal direction L is greater than any of the first connecting segments. The thickness in the longitudinal direction L is shielded from the outside of the first connecting section 23 of the first row R1 through the two pins 44 (Fig. 5D).

The structure of the first grounding strip 51 and the second grounding strip 52 is substantially the same in this embodiment. However, in practical applications, the first grounding strip 51 and the second grounding strip 52 may be different from each other. , there is no limit here.

As shown in FIG. 2B , the first grounding piece 51 includes a first body 511 and two fastening portions 512 , two elastic arms 513 , and two first lateral shielding sheets 514 extending from the first body 511 .
