ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH GROUNDING PLATE
First Claim
1. An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing, the insulative housing extending along a longitudinal direction and comprising a base portion and a plurality of side walls extending forwardly from the base portion and defining a mating cavity, the insulative housing defining a plurality of first passageways and second passageways separately formed at two opposite side walls thereof communicating with the mating cavity;
a plurality of conductive terminals secured in the insulative housing, the terminals comprising a plurality of first terminals and second terminals received in the corresponding first and second passageways, each of the first and second terminals comprising a contact portion extending into the mating cavity; and
a grounding plate, the grounding plate retained to the insulative housing and disposed between the first and second terminals, the grounding plate defining at least one pressing portion forwardly extending into the mating cavity.

Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector mated with each other. The first electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals and a grounding plate. The insulative housing extending along a longitudinal direction includes a base portion and a plurality of side walls extending forwardly from the base portion and forming a mating cavity. The insulative housing defines a plurality of first passageways and second passageways separately formed in two opposite side walls thereof communicating with the mating cavity. The conductive terminals include a plurality of first terminals and second terminals received in the corresponding first and second passageways. Each of the first and second terminals has a contact portion extending into the mating cavity. The grounding plate is disposed between the first and second terminals and defines at least one pressing portion located in the mating cavity.

11. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
-
a first electrical connector including; an insulative housing defining a mating cavity extending along a longitudinal direction and communicating with an exterior through a front opening along a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction; two rows of first contacts disposed in the insulative housing and located by two longitudinal sides of the mating cavity in a transverse direction perpendicular to both said longitudinal direction and said front-to-back direction; and a metallic shielding plate disposed in the insulative housing and between said two rows of first contacts in the vertical direction, said metallic shielding plate including a front edge section located upon an inner face of the housing which is located behind and exposed to the mating cavity and opposite to said front opening in said front-to-back direction;
whereinthe front edge section is equipped with at least one resilient piece rearwardly deflectable along said front-to-back direction. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
