ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH BETTER ANT-EMI EFFECT
First Claim
1. An electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing defining an upper sidewall, a lower sidewall and two end walls connected to both ends of the upper and lower sidewalls, and the upper sidewall, the lower sidewall and the end walls collectively formed a mating cavity;
a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing, the conductive terminals being divided into two sets and received in the upper and lower sidewalls, respectively;
a metal shell enclosing the insulative housing; and
two grounding members respectively assembled on the outside of the upper and lower sidewalls, each grounding member defining a body portion fixed to the outside of the insulative housing, a plurality of contacting arms extending forward from the body portion;
whereineach contacting arm defines a pair of wing portions located on both sides thereof, and the upper and lower sidewalls of the insulative housing define a plurality of channels for accommodating the contacting arms and a plurality of receiving slots recessed from the outside of the insulative housing and corresponding to the wing portions, the contacting arms of the grounding member are running through the channels and projecting into the mating cavity, and the wing portions are abutted against the bottom surfaces of the receiving slots to form a pre-pressure to the contacting arms.

Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing and two grounding members. The insulative housing defines an upper sidewall, a lower sidewall and two end walls connected to both ends of the upper and lower sidewalls to form a mating cavity. Each grounding member defines a body portion fixed to the insulative housing and a plurality of contacting arms extending forward from the body portion. Each contacting arm defines a pair of wing portions located on both sides thereof, and the upper and lower sidewalls define a plurality of channels and a plurality of receiving slots. The contacting arms of the grounding member are running through the channels and projecting into the mating cavity, and the wing portions are abutted against the bottom surfaces of the receiving slots to form a pre-pressure to the contacting arms.

11. An electrical connector comprising:
-
an insulative housing including two opposite long sides walls and two opposite short side walls commonly forming a mating cavity forwardly exposed to an exterior in a front-to-back direction; a plurality of passageways formed in each other said long side walls; a plurality of conductive terminals disposed in the corresponding passageways, respectively, said terminals including grounding terminals, each of said terminals including a contacting portion extending into the mating cavity; and a metallic grounding member attached upon an exterior face of one of the long side walls and forming a plurality of contacting arms forwardly extending beyond the contacting sections of the terminals in said front-to-back direction, and aligned with the corresponding grounding terminals in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction;
whereinsaid one of the long side walls forms a plurality of channels to receive the corresponding contacting arms therein in an inwardly and vertically preloaded manner, respectively;
whereineach of said contacting arms includes at a front end thereof a contacting portion extending into the mating cavity. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
