ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE CONNECTOR
First Claim
1. An electrical receptacle connector, comprising:
- a metallic shell comprising a receptacle cavity;
an insulated housing in the receptacle cavity, wherein the insulated housing comprises a base portion and a tongue portion extending from one end of the base portion, the base portion has an assembling region, wherein the tongue portion has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the lower surface of the tongue portion has an engaging groove;
a plurality of first receptacle terminals held in the base portion and the tongue portion, wherein each of the first receptacle terminals comprises a first flat contact portion and a first body portion, the first body portion is held in the base portion and the tongue portion, the first flat contact portion extends forwardly from the first body portion in a front-to-rear direction and is partly exposed upon the upper surface of the tongue portion;
a plurality of second receptacle terminals each comprising a second flat contact portion and a second body portion, wherein the second flat contact portion extends forwardly from the second body portion in the front-to-rear direction and is partly exposed upon the lower surface of the tongue portion;
a shielding plate comprising a plate body and a plurality of hook portions protruding from the plate body, wherein the plate body is held in the insulated housing and between the first flat contact portions and the second flat contact portions, the shielding plate is exposed upon two sides of the tongue portion; and
at least one terminal organizer fixedly assembled to the assembling region of the base portion, wherein the at least one terminal organizer is assembled with the second receptacle terminals, the at least one terminal organizer comprises a fixation block respectively connected to the second body portions, the fixation block extends outwardly a fixation portion for engaging with the engaging groove, the fixation portion fixes parts of each of the second flat contact portions, so that each of the second flat contact portions is fixed on the engaging groove of the tongue portion.

Abstract
An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, first receptacle terminals, second receptacle terminals, a shielding plate, and a terminal organizer. The insulated housing is in the receptacle cavity of the metallic shell. The first receptacle terminals are assembled with the insulated housing. The second receptacle terminals are assembled with the terminal organizer. The insulated housing and the terminal organizer are assembled with each other. The shielding plate is between the first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals. The terminal organizer extends the fixation portion attaching to the front portions of the second receptacle terminals, so that the front portions of the second receptacle terminals are securely held on the tongue portion. Therefore, when the terminal organizer is deformed due to heating, the front portions of the second receptacle terminals can be still fixed on the tongue portion without being deflected upwardly.
