Abstract
The plug of the connector mainly contains a plug assembly formed by joining two plug pieces, each providing a number of terminals arranged along two major sides of a blade. A conducting plate is sandwiched between the two plug pieces and contacts a metallic casing housing said plug assembly. The casing also contacts an EMI shielding wall enclosing the blades of terminals. The socket of the connector mainly contains a socket assembly formed by interleaving a number of insulating pieces and shielding pieces. Each insulating piece houses four L-shaped terminals and has L-shaped shielding plates positioned in the areas between the L-shaped terminals. The shielding plates contact a metallic plate embedded inside the insulating piece and/or the adjacent shielding piece and the metallic plates in turn contact a metallic casing housing the socket assembly. The casing also contacts an EMI shielding wall enclosing the slots of terminals.
