Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, an electrical connector assembly includes a locking station and a plug cable connector. Said locking station has a receiving cavity, and a pair of side walls extending in a front-to-back direction and locating at two sides of the receiving cavity in a transverse direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction. Said plug cable connector is forwardly inserted into said receiving cavity and includes a spring being deflectable in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said front-to-back direction and said transverse direction. Said spring includes a pair of laterally extending offset ends; and each side wall defines a locking shoulder facing forwardly and pressing against said respective offset end downwardly.

Abstract: A receptacle connector assembly includes an outer housing and a terminal module. The terminals module includes an insulator having a base and a mating tongue extending from the base and equipped with a plurality of contacts and a shielding plate. The contacts include front contacting sections exposed upon the mating tongue and tail sections extending out of the base. The shielding plate is embedded within the mating tongue and includes a pair of rigid notches in two opposite lateral sides for locking to a pair of corresponding latches of a complementary plug connector. The outer housing is of an insulative molding part or a metallic die cast, the terminal module is assembled in the outer housing, and thus a mating cavity is directly defined between the mating tongue and the outer housing.

Abstract: A plug connector includes an insulating body defining a mating cavity opening forwardly and a cable-load portion, a row of upper terminals, a row of lower terminals and a special terminal. The special terminal includes a contacting piece and a soldering piece discrete from each other. The contacting piece unitarily includes a contacting portion located at the upper inside of the mating cavity and an upper connecting portion, and the soldering piece unitarily includes a soldering leg exposed upon the lower loading face of the cable-loading portion and a lower connecting portion extending forward from the soldering leg. The upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion electrically connect to each other so as to establish an electrical connection of the special terminal.
