Abstract
A receptacle connector includes an insulative receptacle housing defining two grooves located inside two corresponding lengthwise walls and extending along a longitudinal direction to receive the two lengthwise walls of the plug connector therein. A center island is formed between the two grooves in the transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Two rows of passageways are formed in the corresponding lengthwise walls, respectively, and each passageway communicates with the corresponding groove. Two rows of receptacle contacts are disposed in the corresponding passageways, respectively. Each of the receptacle contacts further includes an upside-down U-shaped structure straddling the lengthwise wall and including an inner part/arm abutting against an interior surface of the lengthwise wall, and an outer part/arm abutting against an exterior surface of the lengthwise wall, wherein the inner part further includes another locking structure to interlock with the locking structure on the corresponding plug contact.
