Abstract:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative housing including a mating tongue exposed in a mating port, said mating tongue having a first surface exposed thereon; a row of contact terminals mounted on the mating tongue and at least including a pair of differential signal contact terminals adjacently disposed with each other and a pair of grounding/power contact terminals, the pair of differential signal contact terminals located between said grounding/power contact terminals, said grounding/power contact terminals and said signal contact terminals having respective grounding/power contact sections and signal contact sections mounted on the first surface of the mating tongues and equidistantly spaced along a row direction of said contact terminals; each of said differential signal contact terminals having a rear end on a back outer face of the insulative housing and a free distal end located away from said back outer face, said free distal ends located on a first end row and bent from said rear ends and away from each other in opposite transverse directions such that a transverse spacing distance between said adjacent free distal ends is larger than a transverse spacing distance between said adjacent rear ends.
