1. An electrical receptacle for being mounted [ for mounting ] onto a host board and electrically connecting with a mating electrical circuit board along a front-to-back direction, comprising:
an insulative housing; and
a row of first terminals, a row of second terminals, a row of third terminals, and a row of fourth terminals arranged along a vertical direction and mounted in the insulative housing, the first terminals and the fourth terminals forming a first mating port, the second terminals and the third terminals forming a second mating port, the first mating port forwardly extending beyond the second mating port;
wherein the row of first terminals align with the row of second terminals along an up-to-down direction, the row of third terminals align with the row of fourth terminals along the up-to-down direction, the first terminals and the second terminals are offset [ from the third and fourth terminals ] in a longitudinal direction [ transverse direction ] perpendicular to the vertical direction and the front-to-back direction from the third terminals and the fourth terminals [ ; and wherein
each of the first terminals has a first contact section, a first soldering portion, and a first body portion integrally connected between the first contact section and the first soldering portion, each of the second terminals has a second contact section, a second soldering portion, and a second body portion integrally connected between the second contact section and the second soldering portion, each of the third terminals has a third contact section, a third soldering portion, and a third body portion integrally connected between the third contact section and the third soldering portion, and each of the fourth terminals has a fourth contact section, a fourth soldering portion, and a fourth body portion integrally connected between the fourth contact section and the fourth soldering portion; wherein
the row of first terminals are insert-molded in a first insulative body to form a first terminal module, the row of second terminals are insert-molded in a second insulative body to form a second terminal module, the row of third terminals are insert-molded in a third insulative body to form a third terminal module, and the row of fourth terminals are insert-molded in a fourth insulative body to form a fourth terminal module; and wherein
the first insulative body has a plurality of guide grooves in a bottom surface thereof to respectively receive the second contact sections of the corresponding second contacts, and the fourth insulative body has a plurality of guide grooves in a top surface thereof to respectively receive the third contact sections of the corresponding third contacts] .
