ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. An electrical connector for mating with a mating connector, the mating connector having at least two metal elastic sheets, the electrical connector comprising:
- an insulation body, having a base portion and a tongue located at a front end of the base portion;
a plurality of terminals fixedly disposed in the base portion in a manner of an upper row and a lower row, wherein each of the terminals has a contact portion exposed from an upper surface or a lower surface of the tongue, and the mating connector and the contact portions are contacted;
a middle shielding sheet, fixedly disposed at the base portion and the tongue, and located between the upper row of terminals and the lower row of terminals;
at least two snap-fit portions disposed at two sides of the middle shielding sheet and exposed from two sides of the tongue, wherein two of the metal elastic sheets buckle the snap-fit portions to stop the metal elastic sheet from being disengaged; and
an outer metal casing, wrapping peripheries of the base portion and the tongue.

Abstract
An electrical connector, for mating a mating connector having two metal elastic sheets, includes: an insulation body having a base portion and a tongue located at a front end thereof; an upper and lower rows of terminals fixed to the base portion, each terminal having a contact portion exposed from an upper or lower surface of the tongue; a middle shielding sheet, fixed to the base portion and tongue, and located between the two terminal rows; two snap-fit portions disposed at two sides of the middle shielding sheet and exposed from two sides of the tongue, where the two metal elastic sheets buckle the snap-fit portions to prevent disengagement; and an outer metal casing wrapping peripheries of the base portion and tongue. When the mating connector is inserted into the electrical connector after it'"'"'s assembling, the two snap-fit portions are fixed to the mating connector to ensure stable high-frequency performance.
