Patent ID: 7229315

Claim:
A connector comprising: an insulative housing having a pair of opposing walls defining a mating slot therebetween; a shell enclosing the housing and provided with at least a grounding leg adapted to be soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB); a plurality of signal terminals loaded in the housing and each having a deflectable contact beam formed with a contact point and extending into the mating slot along one of said opposing walls, and a solder tail adapted to be soldered to the PCB; and a conductive means retained in the housing and having at least a deflectable contact finger partly accommodated in the other of said opposing walls, said deflectable contact finger formed with a first contact point protruding towards the contact point of said signal terminal and a second contact point distanced from the shell and contacting with the shell when the deflectable contact finger is urged; wherein the conductive means is a row of separate elastic terminals each with a said deflectable contact finger, wherein each said deflectable contact finger is a row of separate elastic terminals each with a said deflectable contact finger; wherein each said deflectable contact finger is accommodated in a through aperture defined in said other opposing wall; wherein the conductive means has no solder tail for mechanically and electrically connected with the PCB.
