Abstract

An electric connector includes a dielectric connector body (1), an insulative partition frame (2), a plurality of signal terminals (4) received in the connector body and the partition frame, a conductive positioning terminal (3) located in the connector body and the partition frame, a metal shell (5) positioned to the connector body, and a pair of plug elements (6) and rivet elements (7) cooperative to secure the partition frame to the connector body. The positioning terminal comprises a first flat coupling wall (31) and a second flat coupling wall (32) which defines a locating notch (322) at a bottom edge thereof. A locating block (213) raise from the partition frame into the locating notch, thereby fixing the positioning terminal in position.
