Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a front cavity for receiving a plug and a rear cavity, a terminal assembly assembled in the rear cavity, and a ground member. The terminal assembly includes an upper terminal module, a lower terminal module, and a shielding module sandwiched therebetween. The upper terminal module includes a pair of upper ground terminals. The lower terminal module includes a pair of lower ground terminals. The shielding module includes a metallic shielding plate. The ground member is associated with the shielding module to mechanically and electrically connect at least one of the upper ground terminals and the lower ground terminals with the shielding plate.
