Claim:
1. A connector with a configuration pin between a ground pin and a power pin, wherein the connector is configured to connect with a transmission port complying with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C specification, the connector comprising: an insulating base formed with a plurality of through holes, wherein each of the through holes opens at a front end and a rear end of the insulating base; a first ground terminal extending through a corresponding one of the through holes in the insulating base, wherein the first ground terminal has an inserting portion at an outermost lateral position of the front end of the insulating base and further has a connecting portion at the rear end of the insulating base and forming the ground pin; a first power terminal extending through a corresponding one of the through holes in the insulating base, wherein the first power terminal has an inserting portion at the front end of the insulating base and adjacent to the inserting portion of the first ground terminal and further has a connecting portion at the rear end of the insulating base and forming the power pin; at least one configuration channel extending through a corresponding one of the through holes in the insulating base, wherein the configuration channel has an inserting portion at the front end of the insulating base and adjacent to the inserting portion of the first power terminal and further has a connecting portion at the rear end of the insulating base and extending laterally from the inserting portion of the configuration channel so as to lie between the connecting portion of the first power terminal and the connecting portion of the first ground terminal and forming the configuration pin; a first signal transmission terminal and a second signal transmission terminal, wherein the signal transmission terminals extend through corresponding ones of the through holes in the insulating base respectively and each have an inserting portion and a connecting portion, the inserting portion of the first signal transmission terminal is between the inserting portion of the configuration channel and the inserting portion of the second signal transmission terminal, and the connecting portions of the signal transmission terminals are at the rear end of the insulating base; and a housing provided therein with a receiving space, wherein a front section of the insulating base and the inserting portions of the terminals and of the configuration channel extend into and are received in the receiving space.
