Abstract

An electrical connector, for being mounted on a circuit board, includes a metal shell and a terminal module. The metal shell includes a mounting surface to be matched with the circuit board. The terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals, an insulating block, a ground shielding piece and a number of cables. The conductive terminals include a number of pairs of differential signal terminals, a number of first ground terminals, and a number of second ground terminals. The ground shielding piece connects the first ground terminals and the second ground terminals in series. Each conductive terminal includes a mating elastic arm extending beyond the mounting surface. The mating elastic arm includes a contact portion for pressing against a conductive pad of the circuit board, thereby improving the installation convenience of the electrical connector.
