Patent attributes
An electrical connector and an electrical connector assembly are disclosed. The electrical connector comprises an insulating housing and a plurality of terminal columns arranged to the insulating housing. Each terminal column comprises a plurality of ground terminals and a plurality of differential signal terminal pairs alternately arranged along a first direction. Each ground terminal has a body portion and two elastic contact portions extending from the body portion and spaced apart from each other. Each signal terminal of each differential signal terminal pair has a body portion and an elastic contact portion extending from the body portion The terminal columns are arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and are spaced apart from each other, and the differential signal terminal pair of each terminal column corresponds to the ground terminal of the adjacent terminal column in position in the second direction, an orthogonal projection of each differential signal terminal pair of each terminal column along the second direction is positioned within a range which is covered by a width of the corresponding ground terminal of the adjacent terminal column.
