Abstract

An electric connector includes a casing, a plurality of ground terminals, a first connection portion, a plurality of electrical terminals and a second connection portion. The casing has an accommodating space. The plurality of ground terminals and the plurality of electrical terminals are arranged in the accommodating space. The first connection portion connects to the plurality of ground terminals and is bent and extended to form a first extension part. The second connection portion connects to the plurality of electrical terminals and extends a second extension part. One of the first extension part and the second extension part is a plate structure with bent steps.

Claims (15)

1 . An electric connector, comprising:

a casing having an accommodating space;

a plurality of ground terminals arranging in the accommodating space;

a first connection portion connecting to the plurality of ground terminals and being bent and extended to form a first extension part;

a plurality of electrical terminals arranging in the accommodating space; and

a second connection portion connecting to the plurality of electrical terminals and extending a second extension part;

wherein the first extension part has a first vertical projection, the second extension part has a second vertical projection, the first vertical projection partially overlaps with the second vertical projection and defines an overlapping projection length, and one of the first extension part and the second extension part is a plate structure with bent steps.

2 . The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein each the ground terminal and each the electrical terminal have free ends and rear ends, the first connection portion couples with the rear ends of the plurality of ground terminals, and the second connection portion couples with the rear ends of the plurality of electrical terminals.

3 . The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the plate structure with bent steps is greater than ½ of width of the casing.

4 . The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein the length of the overlapping projection length is between ¼ and ⅔ of width of the casing.

5 . The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein a distance is defined between the first extension part or the second extension part and a top surface of the casing.

6 . The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein a height difference is defined between the first extension part and the second extension part.

7 . The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first extension part and the second extension part is the plate structure with bent steps, and the other second extension part or the first extension part comprises a first plate and a second plate.

8 . The electric connector according to claim 7 , wherein one of the first extension part and the second extension part is the plate structure with bent steps and comprises a third plate.

9 . The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first extension part and the second extension part is an L-shaped plate structure.
