Abstract
An electrical connector for mating with a mating connector includes an insulating body having a base and a tongue extending forward from the base. An upper row of terminals and a lower row of terminals are disposed in the insulating body. Each upper or lower row terminal has a contact portion exposed from an upper or a lower surface of the tongue, respectively. An upper and a lower grounding sheets are laminated to the upper and lower surfaces of the tongue respectively, and are assembled and connected to each other. A shielding case covers the periphery of the insulating body, and the upper and lower grounding sheets. The shielding case, the insulating body, and the upper and lower grounding sheets together form an insertion space for the mating connector to be inserted therein. The shielding case is respectively and electrically conducted to the upper and lower grounding sheets.
