Abstract:
1. An electrical connector plug having resilient contact terminals and adapted for electrical connection to an electrical connector socket having a casing and at least two groups of engaging terminals mounted in the casing, the electrical connector plug comprising: an electrically conductive housing; a coupling device mounted in the electrically conductive housing and extending along a longitudinal direction, the coupling device comprising a base portion; at least two groups of resilient contact terminals mounted in the coupling device and axially symmetrical to each other about the longitudinal direction, each of the resilient contact terminals comprising a flat section secured at least in part in the base portion of the coupling device and an upwardly protruding contact section extending from the flat section, wherein the flat sections are parallel to one another and the respective upwardly protruding contact sections are adapted to abut against at least a corresponding engaging terminal of the electrical connector socket; and a metallic shield frame electrically connected to and secured to the electrically conductive housing, the metallic shield frame comprising a frame section, a front section having two ends, and two lateral protective sections respectively extending from the two ends of the front section and connected to the frame section, wherein the respective lateral protective sections have a height no less than that of the upwardly protruding contact sections of the resilient contact terminals, and wherein an electrically conductive section extends from the frame section towards the front section and is adapted for electrical connection to the casing of the electrical connector socket.
