A sinking electrical connector defines a receiving space for receiving a corresponding plug and includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts retained on the housing, and a metal shell covering the housing. The shell includes a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, a pair of side walls, and at least one mounting member. The mounting member has a first extending plate extending laterally from the side wall, a second extending plate extending backwardly from the first extending plate, a third extending plate extending inwardly toward the side wall from the second plate, and a mounting tail extending downwardly from the second extending plate to be mounted onto a printed circuit board.

An electrical connector for mating with a plug includes an insulative housing, a number of contacts retained in the insulative housing, a metal shield and at least one metal spring fixed to the metal shield. The metal spring and the metal shield are made of different materials. The metal shield covers the insulative housing to define a receiving cavity formed by a plurality of peripheral walls. One of the peripheral walls defines a slot communicating with the receiving cavity. The metal spring is securely fixed to the peripheral walls and including an engaging arm extending into the receiving cavity through the slot.
