Patent ID: 8641454

Claim:
An electrical connector adapted for electrically connecting with a circuit board, comprising: an insulating housing including a main body, and a base body assembled to the main body, the base body having a base portion, and a second tongue portion protruding forward from a front of the base portion, the base body defining a plurality of first terminal grooves passing through a top of the second tongue portion and a top of the base portion, and a plurality of second terminal grooves passing through a bottom of the second tongue portion and a rear of the base portion; a plurality of first terminals each having a first fastening arm which is disposed in the first terminal groove in the base portion, a contact arm extending forward from a bottom end of the first fastening arm and being received in the first terminal groove in the second tongue portion with a front end thereof being arched upward to project beyond the top of the second tongue portion, a top end of the first fastening arm being inclined rearward to form a first connecting arm passing through the top of the base portion, a free end of the first connecting arm extending rearward and then downward to form a first soldering arm of inverted-L shape projecting behind the base body to be inserted in the circuit board; a plurality of second terminals each having a fastening strip which is fastened in the second terminal groove in the bottom of the second tongue portion, a contact portion extending forward in a step manner from a front end of the fastening strip to project in front of the base body, a rear end of the fastening strip extending upward to form a second fastening arm of which a free end is inclined rearward to form a second connecting arm, the second fastening arm being disposed in the second terminal groove in the rear of the base portion, a free end of the second connecting arm being bent downward to form a second soldering arm projecting behind the base body to be inserted in the circuit board; and a shielding shell enclosing the insulating housing together with the first terminals and the second terminals.
