Abstract

In an electrical plug and socket connector assembly, each conducting terminal of each of the electrical plug connector and electrical socket connector defines two side panels spaced by a gap, two contact end portions respectively forwardly extended from the two side panels, bonding pegs downwardly extended from the bottom edges of the side panels, and radiation fins respectively extended from the topmost edges of the side panels and suspending above the gap. Subject to the design of the gap and radiation fins, waste heat created during operation of the electrical plug and socket connectors can be quick dissipated into the atmosphere, lowering the temperature and smoothing conduction of power supply.
