Abstract:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative housing defining a mating port with a first tongue extending thereinto and a base portion assisting the first tongue, the base portion having a bottom wall; and a plurality of first contacts retained in the insulative housing, the first contacts having a first grounding contact and a first pair of differential signal contacts and a second pair of differential signal contacts wherein the first grounding contact is located between the first pair of differential signal contacts and the second pair of differential signal contacts, the first pair of differential signal contacts comprising a first signal contact and a second signal contact located between the first signal contact and the first grounding contact, the second pair of differential signal contacts comprising a third signal contact and a fourth signal contact wherein the third signal contact is located between the fourth signal contact and the first grounding contact, each contact having a contacting portion extending into the mating port, a soldering portion extending downwardly beyond the bottom wall, a position portion extending rearwardly from the contacting portion and a connecting portion extending from the position portion and further downwardly located at a back side of the insulative housing, all the contacting portions disposed in an equal interval; wherein a first distance is defined between a center line of the first grounding contact and an inner side edge of the connecting portion of the second signal contact, a second distance is defined between the center line and an inner side edge of the soldering portion of the second signal contact, and a third distance is defined between the center line and an inner side edge of the position portion of the second signal contact, and the second distance and the third distance are both smaller than the first distance for decreasing crosstalk between the first pair of differential signal contacts and a second pair of differential signal contacts where the first grounding contact is located; wherein said housing further forms a second mating tongue in the mating port with a plurality of second contacts therein, the second contacts comprising a power contact, a third pair of differential signal contacts and a second grounding contact, the third pair of differential signal contacts having a fifth signal contact and the sixth signal contact, a contacting portion of the power contact being cantileveredly received in a first surface of the second mating tongue, and a contacting portion of the second contact being cantileveredly received in a second surface of the second mating tongue opposite to said first surface.
