Abstract

An electrical receptacle connector includes an insulated housing in a metallic shell. First and second receptacle terminals are on the insulated housing. The receptacle terminals include first and second high-speed signal terminals. The metallic shell includes a receptacle cavity for receiving the insulated housing, an insertion opening being in communication with the receptacle cavity, pins at two sides of the metallic shell and outwardly extending, and an external protruding structure on a bottom surface for connecting to a circuit board. The external protruding structure forms an enclosed structure. Therefore, the seamless configuration improves the reduction to electromagnetic interference.

Claims (19)

1. An electrical receptacle connector comprising:

an insulated housing comprising a base portion and a tongue portion extending from the base portion, wherein the tongue portion has a first surface and a second surface;

a plurality of first receptacle terminals, wherein each of the first receptacle terminals is held in the base portion and the tongue portion and disposed at the first surface;

a plurality of second receptacle terminals, wherein each of the second receptacle terminals is held in the base portion and the tongue portion and disposed at the second surface; and

a metallic shell comprising a receptacle cavity for receiving the insulated housing, an insertion opening being in communication with the receptacle cavity, a plurality of pins at two sides of the metallic shell and extending outwardly, an external protruding structure being on a bottom surface of the metallic shell and between the pins, a buckling piece being extending from the rear portion of a side surface of the metallic shell and bent toward the receptacle cavity, and a buckling groove on a rear portion of the base portion for buckling with the buckling piece, wherein the external protruding structure comprises a contact end extending outwardly from the metallic shell, and an enclosed structure is formed at the external protruding structure of the metallic shell, and wherein there is no through holes forms on a top surface and the bottom surface of the metallic shell.

2. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic shell comprises a plurality of external protruding structures on the bottom surface of the metallic shell.

3. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 2 , wherein the external protruding structure comprises a cone-shaped extending portion outwardly extending from the bottom surface of the metallic shell, and the contact end is formed at an end portion of the cone-shaped extending portion.

4. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the external protruding structure comprises a cone-shaped extending portion outwardly extending from the bottom surface of the metallic shell, and the contact end is formed at an end portion of the cone-shaped extending portion.

5. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic shell comprises a plurality of internal protruding structures, the internal protruding structures are respectively formed on a top surface and the bottom surface of the metallic shell, the internal protruding structures are extending toward the receptacle cavity, and an enclosed structure is formed at each of the internal protruding structures of the metallic shell.

6. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein an upper portion and a lower portion of the insertion opening are symmetrical or unsymmetrical with each other.

7. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the pins comprise turning portions respectively extending from two side portions of the insertion opening.

8. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises a plurality of contact points contacting the contact end and a plurality of holes for being inserted by the pins.

9. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 8 , wherein a protruding block is outwardly protruding from an outer surface of each of the pins for being received in the corresponding hole.

10. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein a rear portion of the metallic shell further comprises a rear cover covering a rear portion of the base portion.

11. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic shell further comprises a plurality of engaging grooves on the pins; a plurality of engaging blocks is on two sides of the base portion for engaging with the engaging grooves.

12. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first receptacle terminals further comprise at least one first power terminal and at least one first ground terminal, the second receptacle terminals further comprise at least one second power terminal and at least one second ground terminal.

13. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic shell comprises a bent member extending outwardly from a top portion of the insertion opening, wherein the bent member comprises a plurality of contact arms.

14. The electrical receptacle connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first receptacle terminals comprise a plurality of first signal terminals, and the first signal terminals comprise a plurality of first high-speed signal terminals.
