Patent attributes
An electrical receptacle connector includes a terminal module and a plurality of shielding plates. The terminal module includes a base portion, a tongue portion outward extended from one of two sides of the base portion, and a plurality of receptacle terminals. The receptacle terminals are held on the base portion. One of the shielding plates is between one of the first ground terminals and one of the second ground terminals, and another one of the shielding plates is between another one of the first ground terminals and another one of the second ground terminals. Accordingly, when the tongue portion is worn by repeated plug-and-pull operations, the signal terminals of the receptacle terminals are not in contact with the shielding plate to prevent the short circuit problem.
