Provided is an electrical connector including an insulative housing having a main body and a pair of tongue plates perpendicular extending from said main body along a mating direction. Said tongue plates are parallel to each other and each defines a plurality of terminal grooves thereon. A plurality of terminals are received in the terminal grooves. A metallic shell is retained on the main body of the insulative housing and encloses said pair of tongue plates thereby defining a mating opening therein. The mating opening defines a first and a second different interfaces in communication with each other. At least a partition portion protrudes toward the mating opening from said main body and defines a bottom surface to act as a top wall of the second interface.

A receptacle connector comprising an insulative housing having a base portion; a plurality of terminals retained in the insulative housing; and a shielding shell assembled on the insulative housing. The shielding shell comprises a pair of sidewalls opposite to each other and forming a mating cavity therebetween. The insulative housing further including an alignment wall extending into the mating cavity from the base portion to partition the mating cavity into a number of mating openings, one of the mating opening having a shape different from another. Wherein at least one of the sidewalls has a bent portion bent from a front edge thereof, and the bent portion defines a hook at the tip thereof for adapting to retention at least one hole of the alignment wall of the insulative housing. Therefore, the strength of the receptacle connector may be improved.
