A receptacle connector includes an insulative housing defining a base and a mating tongue extending from the base with a widen and thicken step structure formed around a root of the mating tongue near to the base, two rows of plate contacts disposed in the insulative housing with contacting sections exposed upon the mating tongue and in front of the step structure and categorized with signal contacts, power contacts and grounding contacts, and a metallic shielding plate disposed within a middle level of the mating tongue and occupying most portions of said mating tongue. The shielding plate defines a pair of immoveable and un-deflectable lateral edge sections in front of the step structure, each lateral edge section is configured to be adapted to be locked with a latch of a plug connector in a transverse direction.

Flippable electrical connector

A receptacle connector mounted to the printed circuit board, includes an insulative housing defining a mating tongue and a metallic shell enclosing the housing to form a mating cavity in which said mating tongue forwardly extends. A complementary plug connector includes a shell with a bull-nose tip. A metallic piece is mounted around a root of the mating tongue and equipped with a plurality of spring tangs to contact the relatively rigid bull-nose tip of the shell of the complementary connector for EMI/RFI protection.

A receptacle connector mounted to a PCB, includes an insulative housing defining a mating tongue and a metallic shell enclosing the housing to form a mating cavity in which said mating tongue forwardly extends. A metallic shielding plate is embedded within a mid-level of the mating tongue wherein a leg of the shielding plate and a tail of an outermost grounding contact share the same conductive grounding region on the PCB. A plug connector mateable with the receptacle connector, includes an insulative housing defining a mating cavity to receive the mating tongue and equipped with a plurality of contacts and a metallic latch beside the mating cavity, wherein a tail of one grounding contact and a leg of the latch share the same conductive grounding region on a paddle card, which is behind the mating cavity and on which tails of the contacts are electrically and mechanically mounted.

A primary connector () includes a primary housing () and a number of terminal groups. The primary housing includes a periphery wall () and a side wall () disposed at opposite sides of the primary housing and extending along a longitudinal direction, a slot () defined between the periphery wall and the side wall, and a number of passageways () extending along a transverse direction for receiving the number of terminal groups. Each terminal group includes a predetermined terminal () having a contact section () exposed to the slot and a pair of soldering portions () respectively extending from opposite sides of the contact section and inserted outwardly from the periphery wall and the side wall.
