Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: a dielectric housing comprising a supporting portion and a mating portion above the supporting portion, the mating portion defining a receiving space therein; a terminal subassembly comprising first and second terminal modules, the first and the second terminal modules respectively comprising first and second dielectric bodies retained in the receiving space and a plurality of first and second terminals received in the first and the second dielectric bodies, the first and the second dielectric bodies extending beyond the mating portion; an inner shield enclosing the first and the second dielectric body and defining a first engaging space therein; and an outer shield enclosing the dielectric housing and the inner shield, the outer shield and the inner shield defining a second engaging space therebetween; wherein each of the first and the second dielectric bodies comprises a base received in the receiving space and a tongue extending from the base beyond the mating portion; wherein the mating portion defines a swallow-tailed groove communicating with the receiving space, and wherein each base of the first and the second terminal modules is formed with a pair of projections, the projections of the first and the second dielectric bodies forming a pair of swallow-tailed protrusion engaging with the grooves of the mating portion.
