Abstract:
1. An electrical connector adapted for connecting with a circuit board, comprising: a first insulating housing having a base board and a tongue board extending forwards from a front of the base board, two opposite sides of the base board extending downward to form a pair of clamping boards spaced from each other; a second insulating housing assembled to the first insulating housing, the second insulating housing having a base portion resisting against rear edges of the clamping boards, and a tongue portion protruding forwards from a front of the base portion to be clamped between the clamping boards; a terminal group including a plurality of flat terminals and a plurality of spring terminals; each flat terminal having a first fastening strip, a first contact portion and a first soldering tail connected with a front end and a rear end of the first fastening strip in a step manner respectively, the first fastening strips being molded in the base board and the tongue board of the first insulating housing, the first contact portions being exposed in a front of a bottom of the tongue board, the first soldering tails projecting behind the first insulating housing; and each spring terminal having a second fastening strip, a second contact portion which curves upward and then slantwise extends forward from a front end of the second fastening strip with a free end thereof arched downward, and a second soldering tail bending upward and then extending rearward from a rear end of the second fastening strip, the second fastening strips being molded in the second insulating housing, the second contact portions elastically projecting out of the bottom of the tongue board and being located behind the first contact portions, the second soldering tails projecting behind the first insulating housing and being aligned with the first soldering tails alternately in line to make the soldering tails of the terminal group show a single-row layout for being soldered with the circuit board; and a metal shell enclosing both the first insulating housing and the second insulating housing.
