Electrical connector

Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing, at least one terminal assembly fixed to the insulating housing, and a plurality of shielding plates. The terminal assembly includes an insulating strip and a plurality of terminals fixed to the insulating strip and arranged in a row along a first direction. The plurality of terminals includes a plurality of ground terminals and a plurality of signal terminals. Adjacent signal terminals form a differential terminal pair. A plurality of differential terminal pairs and the plurality of ground terminals are distributed alternately. The plurality of shielding plates are fixed to the insulating strip. The shielding plates are located opposite of the differential terminal pair along the first direction. Each shielding plate extends perpendicular to the first direction. By arranging shielding plates on both sides of each differential terminal pair to provide electromagnetic shielding between different differential terminal pairs, signal crosstalk between differential terminal pairs can be reduced, the stability of high-frequency signal transmission can be improved, and the requirements for high-performance data transmission can be met.
