1. An electrical connector comprising:
an insulating body having a mating port for inserting a mating connector and an installation port communicating with the mating port;
a first row of terminals and a second row of terminals housed in the insulating body, the first row of terminals and the second row of terminals being installed in the installation port and respectively located on two opposite sides of the mating port, each terminal in the first row of terminals having a tail portion, a contact portion, and a body portion between the tail portion and the contact portion, the first row of terminals including:
a signal terminal pair capable of transmitting differential signals, the signal terminal pair including a pair of signal terminals; and
a ground terminal arranged on one side of the signal terminal pair; and
a first fixing member for fixing the first row of terminals, and wherein the body portion includes a fixed portion provided in the first fixing member and a free portion exposed to air, and a center distance of the fixed portions of the signal terminal pair is equal to a center distance of the tail portions thereof; wherein
a first center distance between the contact portions of the signal terminal pair is greater than a second center distance between the contact portion of the ground terminal and the contact portion of an adjacent signal terminal;
a center distance of the fixed portions between every two adjacent terminals is constant, a center distance between the free portions of the signal terminal pair is different from a center distance between the free portion of the ground terminal and the free portion of the signal terminal adjacent thereto;
the free portion includes a first free portion located between the contact portion and the fixed portion and a second free portion located between the fixed portion and the tail portion, and a center distance of the first free portions of the signal terminal pair is smaller than a center distance of the second free portions thereof; and
the center distance of the fixed portion of the signal terminal pair is greater than the center distance of the first free portions and smaller than the center distance of the second free portions.
