Abstract:
1. An electrical connector adapted for connecting with a mating connector, comprising: an insulating body having a base portion and a tongue portion of a horizontal board shape extending forward from a front side of the base portion, a top surface of the tongue portion defining a plurality of terminal fillisters each extending along a front-to-rear direction to penetrate through the tongue portion and the base portion, two inner sides of a front end of each terminal fillister protruding face-to-face to form a pair of holding portions with an interval therebetween gradually narrowing from rear to front; a plurality of terminals each having a strip-shaped contact arm disposed in the terminal fillister of the insulating body, and a soldering tail extending from a rear end of the contact arm to stretch behind the base portion; and a shielding shell enclosing the insulating body with the tongue portion located in the shielding shell and being apart from periphery inner sides of the shielding shell to define an inserting space between the shielding shell and the tongue portion, wherein the contact arm of the terminal has a front end thereof held between the holding portions of the terminal fillister to avoid curling under the action of inserting the mating connector into the inserting space of the electrical connector.
