The electrical connector includes an insulating body, a plurality of terminals and a plug. The insulating body is provided with a docking surface, a slot formed by a recessed arrangement of the docking surface, and the slot is provided with a slot bottom surface facing the docking surface, and two inner wall surfaces connecting the docking surface and the slot bottom surface. The top surface of the insulating body constitutes the docking surface, and the electronic card is inserted into the slot through the docking surface. The insulating body includes two side walls located on both sides of the slot, each side wall is provided with a plurality of terminal slots, which accommodate corresponding terminals one by one, and the terminal slots penetrate downward, penetrate the inner wall surface inward, and penetrate the docking surface upward at the same time.

[0003] The terminal includes a fixing portion, an elastic arm and a pin portion.

[0004] The plug is an integrated structure and is installed on the insulating body. The plug includes an insulating insert inserted into the signal terminal slot and a conductive insert inserted into the ground terminal slot. The plug includes a bottom plate. The bottom plate includes a conductive plate layer and an insulating plate layer connected to each other as a whole. The insulating plate layer is wrapped around the upper and lower surfaces of the conductive plate layer. The conductive insert is formed by extending upward from the conductive plate layer as a whole. The insulating insert is formed by extending upward from the insulating plate layer as a whole. The conductive insert is a conductive plastic material. The conductive plate layer and the conductive insert are first formed by a first injection molding method. Then, the insulating plate layer and the insulating insert are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the conductive plate layer by a second injection molding method, thereby forming an integrated plug. Both the conductive insert and the insulating insert are columnar inserts. A row of columnar inserts is provided on each lateral side of the bottom plate. Each row of columnar inserts extends in the longitudinal direction. The columnar inserting portion abuts against the retaining portion of the terminal at the upper half near the bottom of the slot, and is spaced a certain distance from the terminal at the lower half away from the bottom of the slot. The interference between the columnar inserting portion and the insulating body is utilized to increase the retaining force between the plug and the insulating body.

[0021] like Figure 1-17 As shown, the high-speed communication storage electrical connector includes an insulating body 1, a plurality of terminals 2 and a plurality of plugs 3 received in the insulating body 1.

[0022] The middle part of the top surface of the insulating body 1 is concave in the longitudinal direction to form a longitudinal slot 11. The slot 11 has longitudinal side walls 12 arranged along the length direction of the slot 11 on both sides.

An anti-mute portion 15 connecting the two longitudinal side walls 12 is provided in the slot 11. The anti-mute portion 15 divides the slot 11 into slot one and slot two whose length is shorter than slot one. The anti-mute portion 15 is used to prevent the electronic module 6 from being reversely inserted.

[0023] One of the towers 13 of the insulating body 1 has an ear buckle accommodating space, and the tower 13 has a pivoting portion for pivoting the ear buckle and is provided with an ear buckle 4. The other tower 13 is provided with a metal lock structure 5, and the metal lock structure 5 has a spring anti-retraction structure 51. The single-sided ear buckle can save space occupied by opening the ear buckle. The ear buckle 4 and the metal lock structure 5 are buckled and fixed on both sides of the electronic module 6 inserted into the slot 11 to fix the electronic module 6. An iron foot 7 is fixed at the bottom of the two towers 13 of the insulating body 1, which is used to connect with the circuit board to fix the insulating body 1 to the circuit board.

[0024] The plurality of terminals 2 are respectively and one by one accommodated in the corresponding terminal slots 14 in the two longitudinal side walls 12. Some of the terminals 2 in each longitudinal side wall 12 are configured as double-layer terminals, that is, at least a portion of the terminal slots 14 are configured with double-layer terminals (double-layer terminals can be configured in one terminal slot 14 or in multiple spaced terminal slots), and the remaining terminal slots 14 are configured with single-layer terminals.

[0025] The double-layer terminal includes a lower terminal and an upper terminal. The upper terminal of the double-layer terminal is inserted downward from the top of the insulating body 1 and fixed in the terminal groove 14.

A partition wall 17 is provided between the terminal groove 14 for accommodating the lower terminal and the terminal groove 14 for accommodating the upper terminal to completely separate them. The partition wall 17 includes a vertical wall 171 and a horizontal wall 172. The vertical wall 171 extends downward to be flush with the bottom surface of the insulating body 1. The horizontal wall 172 extends toward the slot 11 to be flush with the slot-facing surface of the longitudinal side wall 12. The upper end of the vertical wall 171 is vertically connected to the end of the horizontal wall 172 away from the slot. The terminal grooves 14 for receiving the upper terminals are connected from the top surface of the longitudinal side wall of the insulating body 1 to the slot 11 to the slot-facing surface of the longitudinal side wall, so that an independent fence 19 is formed between each two adjacent terminal grooves 14 for receiving the upper terminals. The top surface of each independent fence 19 is lower than the top surface of the longitudinal side wall 12 of the insulating body 1, so that when the electronic module 6 is inserted into the slot 11, it first hits the top surface of the longitudinal side wall 12 of the insulating body 1, and does not hit the top surface of the independent fence 19 first, thereby protecting the upper terminals next to the independent fence 19.

The top surfaces of the two longitudinal side walls 12 are provided with a plurality of material cutting grooves 18 at both sides of the foolproof portion 15 along the length direction of the longitudinal side walls 12, and each longitudinal side wall 12 has a plurality of grooves 16 on both sides of the plurality of material cutting grooves 18 on the top surface. The provision of the material cutting groove 18 and the groove 16 can not only save materials and reduce the weight of the insulating body 1 , but also prevent the insulating body 1 from warping and facilitate mold forming.

[0029] The upper terminal and the lower terminal both include a fixing portion 21 fixed in the corresponding terminal slot 14, and an opening 211 is provided in the middle of the fixing portion 21 to save metal materials.

The fixing portion 21 extends upward and downward to form an upper arm portion 22 and a lower arm portion 23 respectively, and the lower end of the lower arm portion 23 is bent toward the inner side of the insulating body 1 to form a welding portion 24. The upper end of the upper arm portion 22 of the lower terminal protrudes toward the slot 11 to form a contact portion 25, and the upper end of the upper arm portion 22 of the upper terminal extends toward the slot 11 to form an upper oblique arm 26, and the end of the upper oblique arm 26 is bent downward to form a lower oblique contact arm 27, and the end of the lower oblique contact arm 27 is a contact end, and the contact end extends into the slot 11.

[0030] The contact end of the upper terminal is higher than the contact portion 25 of the lower terminal, the welding portion 24 of the upper terminal is flush with the welding portion 24 of the lower terminal, the welding portion 24 of the upper terminal and the welding portion 24 of the lower terminal are oriented in the same direction, and the welding portion 24 of the single-layer terminal and the welding portion 24 of the lower terminal are oriented in the same direction and both are toward the inner side of the insulating body 1.
