Claim Text:
1. A plug connector, comprising: an insulating housing having a base body, a front end of the base body defining an insertion chamber penetrating through a middle of a front surface of the base body, a rear end of the base body defining an assembling groove vertically penetrating through a middle of the rear end of the base body and further penetrating through a rear surface of the base body, a middle of a front wall of the assembling groove being recessed frontward to form a fastening slot extending in a transverse direction; a terminal module including a first terminal module, and a second terminal module mounted to the first terminal module, the first terminal module having a first main body assembled in the assembling groove, and a plurality of spaced first terminals fixed to the first main body, rear ends of the first terminals projecting beyond a rear surface of the first main body, and front ends of the first terminals projecting beyond a front surface of the first main body, the second terminal module having a second main body assembled in the assembling groove, and a plurality of spaced second terminals fixed to the second main body, rear ends of the second terminals projecting beyond a rear surface of the second main body, and front ends of the second terminals projecting beyond a front surface of the second main body; a middle shielding piece mounted between the first terminal module and the second terminal module, the terminal module together with the middle shielding piece being assembled to the assembling groove of the insulating housing, the middle shielding piece having a base plate, a front end of the base plate of the middle shielding piece being fastened to the fastening slot, two portions of two opposite sides of the base plate extending outward and then extending frontward to form two lateral arms spaced from the two opposite sides of the base plate, an upper end of a rear surface of each of the lateral arms meandering rearward to form a soldering portion projecting out of the insulating housing, a thickness of the soldering portion being thinner than thicknesses of the base plate and the lateral arms; and a shielding shell surrounding the insulating housing and the terminal module.
