Abstract

A connector includes a shielding case, an insulating main body and a terminal group. The shielding case has an opening for allowing a docking plug to insert therein. The insulating main body is covered by the shielding case. The terminal group is accommodated in the insulating main body. The terminal group has terminals. Each of the terminals has a contact portion and a connecting portion. The contact portion is arranged in two rows in the opening of the shielding case. The connecting portions are fixed to the insulating main body. The connecting portions of a portion of the terminals extend outwards from the insulating main body to form welding legs arranged in the same row.

Claims

1. A connector, comprising:

a shielding case having an opening for allowing a docking plug to be insert therein;

an insulating main body covered by the shielding case; and

a terminal group accommodated in the insulating main body, the terminal group having a plurality of terminals, each of the terminals having a contact portion and a connecting portion, the contact portions being arranged in two rows in the opening of the shielding case, the connecting portions being fixed to the insulating main body;

wherein the connecting portions of a portion of the terminals extend outwards from the insulating main body to form a plurality of welding legs, and the welding legs are arranged in the same row.

2. The connector of claim 1, wherein the terminal group comprises an upper terminal row and a lower terminal row, and the upper terminal row comprises two grounding legs, two power supply legs, a transmission leg, a receiving leg, and a first signal leg.

3. The connector of claim 2, wherein the lower terminal row comprises two grounding legs, two power supply legs, a transmission leg, a receiving leg, and a second signal leg.

4. The connector of claim 2, wherein the welding legs of the upper terminal row and the welding legs of the lower terminal row are staggered to form the same row.

5. The connector of claim 2, wherein the upper terminal row and the lower terminal row have a plurality of broken legs, and the broken legs are terminals with no function.

6. The connector of claim 1, wherein the terminal group is surface mounting technology (SMT) compliant, and electrically connected to a circuit board.
