| 1. A first grounding terminal capable of being engaged with a connector insulator having L-shaped or U-shaped grounding terminal
openings, a plurality of terminal modules being fitted into the connector insulator, the connector insulator further comprising
a plurality of signal terminal openings by the grounding terminal openings, a signal terminal being inserted into the signal
terminal opening to be electrically connected with a fork-shaped signal pin of the terminal module, each of the grounding
terminal opening surrounding a pair of signal terminal openings, the first grounding terminal comprising:
a piece-shaped main body;
a wing portion extended from a lower first side edge of the main body and disposed by the main body, the wing portion being
shorter than the main body;
a coupling portion extended from a lower second side edge of the main body and extended away from the main body;
wherein the main body and the wing portion being inserted into the grounding terminal opening to be electrically connected
with a grounding pin of the terminal module;
wherein the coupling portion of the first grounding terminal makes abutting contact to a lower first side of a second liked
grounding terminal, and the second liked grounding terminal has a coupling portion that makes abutting contact to a lower
first side of a third liked grounding terminal; and
wherein the first grounding terminal, the second grounding terminal, and the third grounding terminal are coupled in series.
