An electrical receptacle connector includes a terminal module assembly and a grounding collar thereon. The terminal module assembly includes the front mating tongue, the rear body, and the step structure therebetween, and the corresponding contacts. The contacts are secured to the body with contacting sections exposed upon the mating tongue. The grounding collar includes the grounding regions located on two opposite upper and lower surfaces of the step structure. The front edge area of the grounding region adjacent to the front edge area, forms a notch so as to leave a space to allow the spring finger of the corresponding interior grounding plate of the plug connector to first slide upon the step structure and successively contact the grounding region of the grounding collar of the receptacle connector.

A receptacle connector for mating with the plug connector, includes an insulative housing and two rows of terminals. The housing includes a main body and a mating tongue forwardly extending from the main body and forming two opposite mating surfaces. Each of the terminals includes a front mating section and a rear mounting section. The mating tongue forms a plurality of passageways to receive the mating sections of the corresponding terminals therein, respectively. The housing further forms a plurality of holes communicatively behind the some passageways in the vertical direction for increase the impedance of the corresponding terminal on the mating sections, respectively.
