Electrical connector with stacked shielding plates sandwiched between two opposite contact modules
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electrical connector comprising:
- a first contact module with a plurality of first contact retained therein in a transverse direction via an insert-molding process and including a plurality of first grounding contacts thereof;
a second contact module with a plurality of second contacts retained therein in the transverse direction via another insert-molding process and having a plurality of second grounding contacts thereof; and
opposite metallic first and second shielding plates stacked with each other and commonly sandwiched between the first contact module and the second contact module in a vertical direction perpendicular to the transverse direction;
whereinthe first shielding plate forms a plurality of first spring tangs in one row and a plurality of second sprint tangs in another row spaced from the first springs in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to the transverse direction and the vertical direction;
whereinthe first spring tangs and the second spring tangs are paired, and the paired first sprint tang and second spring tang commonly contact a same first grounding contact of the first contacts.

Abstract
A high frequency electrical connector includes a housing with first and second rows of contacts therein. The housing includes a base and a mating tongue extending forwardly from the base. Each contacts has a contacting section exposed upon the mating surface of the mating tongue, a connection section exposed out of the base, and a middle section therebetween. The first row of contacts as well as the second row of contacts includes a plurality of grounding contacts. First and second shielding plates stacked with each other and commonly between the first row of contacts and the second row of contacts. The first shielding plate has two rows of spring tangs in pairs wherein each pair of spring tangs commonly contact the same grounding contact.
