An electrical connector for mating with a plug and mounting to a printed circuit board, includes an insulative housing with a forwardly extending mating tongue thereof. A terminal module includes an insulator associated with a plurality of contacts commonly assembled into the housing. Those contacts are categorized with the differential pairs, the grounding contacts and the power contacts while each of the contacts includes a front contacting section exposed upon the mating tongue, a middle retention section retained to the insulator, and a rear tail section extending out of the housing. A metallic shielding/reinforcement plate associated with the terminal module is assembled into the housing, and includes a front region inserted into the mating tongue, a middle region with a spring tang to mechanically and electrically connected to the selected grounding contact, and a rear tail section extending out of the housing.
