Abstract

The connector has an insulating base, a plurality of terminals, and at least two conductive plastic blocks. The insulating base has a tongue plate configured with at least an indentation. The terminals contains a first signal terminal set, a second signal terminal set, and a power terminal set configured on the tongue plate. The terminals are either positive or negative terminals, and each terminal has a contact section. The contact sections of the first signal terminal set are configured at a distance above the indentation. The conductive plastic blocks are in contact with the contact sections of the negative terminals of the first and second signal terminal sets, respectively. The distance provides additional contact area with the air so that the electrical property is improved and higher transmission speed is achieved. The shielding effect of the conductive plastic blocks reduces cross interference between adjacent terminals.

Claims (5)

1. A high-speed connector, comprising:

an insulating base having a tongue plate configured with a plurality of grooves and at least an indentation;

a plurality of terminals configured on the tongue plate of the insulating base where the terminals contains a first signal terminal set, a second signal terminal set, and a power terminal set; the terminals of the first and second signal terminal sets and of the power terminal set are either positive or negative terminals; each terminal has a contact section and a soldering section extended outside of the insulating base; the contact sections of the first signal terminal set are configured at a distance above a bottom side of the indentation; and the contact sections of the second signal terminal set and the power terminal set are configured in the grooves of the insulating base; and

at least two conductive plastic blocks where one of the conductive plastic block is in contact with the contact sections of the negative terminals of the first signal terminal set; and the other conductive plastic block is in contact with the contact sections of the negative terminals of the second signal terminal set.

2. The high-speed connector according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating base has a holder located correspondingly to each lateral end of the tongue plate; and each holder is configured with a soldering piece.
