1. An electrical connector adapted to connect first and second signal transmission cables, each including a plurality of electrically insulated transmission wires, the first transmission cable being provided with a wire terminal plug that terminates the transmission wires thereof, said electrical connector comprising:

  • a base seat;

    a socket member mounted on said base seat and adapted for insertion of the wire terminal plug in a longitudinal direction;

    a circuit board mounted on said base seat, and having front and rear segments opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction and electrically connected to each other;

    a plurality of first terminals which are mounted on and electrically connected to said front segment, which are received in said connecting socket, and which are adapted to respectively and electrically connect with the transmission wires of the first signal transmission cable when the wire terminal plug is inserted into said socket member;

    a terminal seat mounted on said rear segment of said circuit board, and including two lateral portions which are spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal direction and which extend forwardly in the longitudinal direction to form respectively front ends, and a transverse portion which extends in the transverse direction between said front ends of said lateral portions, each of said lateral and transverse portions extending from said circuit board upwardly in an upright direction transverse to the longitudinal and transverse directions to terminate at an upper wall surface, said upper wall surface of each of said lateral and transverse portions being formed with a plurality of insert slots which are displaced from one another, each of said insert slots extending downwardly to be adapted to snugly grip a respective one of the transmission wires of the second signal transmission cable by press fitting; and

    a plurality of second terminals respectively mounted in said insert slots, and electrically connected to said second segment of said circuit board so as to respectively establish electrical connection with the transmission wires of the second signal transmission cable when the transmission wires are press-fitted respectively into said insert slots.
