Abstract

See full text

A cable connector compatible to type-A USB 3.0 standard includes a number of contacts divided into a first contact group and a second contact group. The first contact group is compatible to USB 2.0 standard. The second contact group includes a number of second contacts having a first pair of high-speed differential signal contacts, a second pair of high-speed differential signal contacts and a grounding contact disposed between the first pair and the second pair of high-speed differential signal contacts. The second soldering section of the grounding contact is of a forked manner and includes at least a first branch and a second branch. As a result, it is more effective to solder the second soldering section of the grounding contact with a cable without any manual alignment work.
