Patent ID: 8052477

Claim:
A receptacle connector for a cable comprising: an insulating housing having a front end and a rear end; multiple first terminals mounted on the insulating housing and each first terminal having a first soldering cup formed on the first terminal and extending backward out of the rear end of the insulating housing; multiple second terminals mounted on the insulating housing, being capable of cooperating with the first terminals to implement USB 3.0 protocol and each second terminal having a second soldering cup formed on the second terminal and extending backward out of the rear end of the insulating housing; and a shell covering the insulating housing, the first terminals and the second terminals, and having a cavity defined through the shell and having a front opening serving as a socket hole; wherein the insulating housing further has a base having a front and a rear; and a tongue formed on and protruding forward from the front of the base; wherein each first terminal further has a first mounting section and a first contacting section, the first mounting section is mounted in the base and the tongue, the first contacting section is formed on and protrudes forward from the first mounting section and is mounted on the bottom of the tongue, the first soldering cup of the first terminal is formed on and protrudes backward from the first mounting section; wherein each second terminal further has a second mounting section and a second contacting section, the second mounting section is mounted in the base and the tongue, the second contacting section is formed on and protrudes forward from the second mounting section and is mounted on the bottom of the tongue, the second soldering cup of the second terminal is formed on and protrudes backward from the second mounting section; wherein the base of the insulating housing further has a mounting recess defined in the rear; and wherein a rear stopper is mounted in the insulating housing and has a mounting portion formed on and protruding forward from the rear stopper and mounted in the mounting recess of the base of the insulating housing; a partition formed on and protruding backward from the rear stopper and separating the first soldering cups from the second soldering cups; multiple first positioning holes defined through the rear stopper under the partition so that the first soldering cups extend respectively through the first positioning holes and are located under the partition; and multiple second positioning holes defined through the rear stopper above the partition so that the second soldering cups extend respectively through the second positioning holes and are located above the partition.
