US Patent 7794244 Electrical connector having grounding bridge

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (1) which comprise a pair of side walls (121) and a pair of end walls (122) linking with two ends of the side wall, a plurality of terminals (2) retained in the side wall and a pair of grounding bridges (3) received in the end wall. Each of the grounding bridge comprise a contacting part (31) engaging with a mating connector, a grounding part (32) and a conducting part (33) mechanically connecting with the contacting part and grounding part. And the conductive part (33) has a larger resistance compared with the contacting part and the grounding part. Therefore, the power current transmitting through the guiding bridge (3) can be lower.
