Abstract:
Electrical connectors are described. More particularly, electrical connectors including a plurality of contacts are described. Both connector plugs and sockets are described. Electrical connectors that are suitable for mounting on a printed circuit board and electrical connectors that include a printed circuit board are described.

Claim (Index 18):
An elongated electrical connector for mounting on a printed circuit board and mating with a mating connector along a mating direction, the connector comprising:\n an elongated base extending along a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the mating direction; first and second end walls extending forwardly along the mating direction from opposite longitudinal ends of the base; a bottom tongue extending forwardly along the mating direction from the base and disposed between and spaced apart from the first and second end walls, the bottom tongue having a uniform thickness along its length along the longitudinal direction and comprising first and second bottom tongue portions separated by a third bottom tongue portion; a top tongue having a front portion extending forwardly along the mating direction from the base and a rear portion extending rearwardly along the mating direction from the base, the top tongue disposed between and spaced apart from the first and second end walls, the top tongue having a uniform thickness along its length along the longitudinal direction and being spaced apart from the bottom tongue along a thickness direction perpendicular to the mating and longitudinal directions, a bottom surface of the front portion of the top tongue facing a top face of the third bottom tongue portion; a plurality of spaced apart first contacts disposed on a top surface of the first bottom tongue portion; a plurality of spaced apart second contacts disposed on a top surface of the second bottom tongue portion; a plurality of spaced apart third contacts disposed on a bottom surface of the bottom tongue; and a plurality of spaced apart fourth contacts, each fourth contact comprising: a front member extending along the mating direction and disposed in a corresponding passageway formed on a top surface of the front portion of the top tongue for making contact with a corresponding contact of a mating connector; a rear member extending from rear portion of the top tongue for mounting on a printed circuit board; and a middle member joining the front and rear members and being embedded in the rear portion of the top tongue.
