Abstract

An electrical connector includes a terminal module and a plurality of terminals retained in the terminal module. The plurality of terminals are divided into an upper row and a lower row. Each of the terminals has a contacting portion contacting with a complementary connector. Each row of the terminals has a power terminal and a differential pair. The contacting portion of the power terminal in the upper row and the corresponding contacting portion of the power terminal in the lower row mechanically contact with each other to form parallel electrical paths.
