Abstract
The connector has an insulating base, a plurality of terminals, and at least two conductive plastic blocks. The insulating base has a tongue plate configured with at least an indentation. The terminals contains a first signal terminal set, a second signal terminal set, and a power terminal set configured on the tongue plate. The terminals are either positive or negative terminals, and each terminal has a contact section. The contact sections of the first signal terminal set are configured at a distance above the indentation. The conductive plastic blocks are in contact with the contact sections of the negative terminals of the first and second signal terminal sets, respectively. The distance provides additional contact area with the air so that the electrical property is improved and higher transmission speed is achieved. The shielding effect of the conductive plastic blocks reduces cross interference between adjacent terminals.
