Abstract
An RJ45 socket connector includes an insulative housing having a receiving chamber; and a plurality of conductive terminals held in the insulative housing, the conductive terminal having an elastic contact section oblique upwardly and backwardly extending along an insertion direction. The elastic contact section has a first part extending oblique upwardly, a second part downwardly and backwardly bent from the first part, and a third part upwardly extending from the second part. A connecting portion between the first part and the second part is adapted to contact mating contacts of an inserted RJ45 plug, and the connecting portion is adapted to resist a lower insulative body surface of a mistakenly inserted RJ11 plug.
