Electrical receptacle connector
An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, a plurality of first receptacle terminals, a plurality of second receptacle terminals, a recess structure, and a passage structure. The insulated housing is received in the receiving cavity. The first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals are respectively disposed at an upper portion and a lower portion of the insulated housing. The recess structure and the passage structure are formed at the rear of the insulated housing, so that a sealing member can be filled in the recess structure and the passage structure to cover and shields the rear of the insulated housing.

a plurality of second receptacle terminals comprising a plurality of second signal terminals, at least one power terminal, and at least one ground terminal, wherein each of the second receptacle terminals is held in the insulated housing and disposed at the second surface, wherein each of the second receptacle terminals comprises a flat contact portion, a body portion, and a tail portion, wherein the body portion is held in the base portion and disposed at the second surface of the tongue portion, the flat contact portion is extending forward from the body portion in the rear-to-front direction and partly exposed upon the second surface of the tongue portion, the tail portion is extending backward from the body portion in the front-to-rear direction and extending out of the base portion;
a recess structure between the other side of the base portion and the inner wall of the shell body; and
a passage structure between the other side of the base portion and the inner wall of the shell body and communicating with the recess structure, wherein the recess structure and the passage structure are at the rear of the receiving cavity of the shell body.
2. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing member filled in the recess structure, wherein the sealing member is further filled into the passage structure to fill the rear of the receiving cavity of the shell body, the sealing member covers a gap between the other side of the base portion and the inner wall of the shell body.
3. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the insulated housing further comprises a rear side plate extending outward from the middle portion of the rear of the base portion and protruded out of the receiving cavity of the shell body.
4. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of recess structures respectively formed at an upper portion of rear of the base portion and a lower portion of the rear of the base portion, and the recess structures are between the base portion and the inner wall of the shell body.
5. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 4 , wherein the insulated housing further comprises a stopping block disposed at a corner between the top surface of the rear side plate and the base portion, the stopping block, the base, and the inner wall of the shell body defines the recess structure.
6. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of passage structures respectively formed at a left portion of the rear of the base portion and a right portion of the rear of the base portion, and the passage structures are between the base portion and the inner wall of the shell body.
7. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the shell body comprises an inner shell and a case, the inner shell is circularly enclosing the insulated housing, the case circularly encloses the inner shell, the recess structure is formed between the other side of the base portion and the inner wall of the inner shell, the passage structure is formed between the other side of the base portion and the inner wall of the inner shell.
8. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the insulated housing further comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion is assembled to the second portion to form the base portion and the tongue portion, and the second portion comprises a groove corresponding to the recess structure.
9. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals have 180 degree symmetrical design with respect to a central point of the receiving cavity as the symmetrical center.
10. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the position of the first receptacle terminals corresponds to the position of the second receptacle terminals.
