Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating body, a number of first conductive terminals, a number of second conductive terminals, and a number of cables. The first conductive terminals include a number of first signal terminals and a number of first ground terminals. The second conductive terminals include a number of second signal terminals and a number of second ground terminals. The cables include a number of first cables electrically connected with the first signal terminals and a number of second cables electrically connected with the second signal terminals. The first ground terminals and the second ground terminals are connected to each other and are adapted to be electrically connected to a circuit board. With this arrangement, the present disclosure avoids ground return through cables, thereby simplifying the grounding method and improving the stability of signal transmission. The present disclosure also discloses an electrical connector assembly having the electrical connector.
