Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of contacts retained in the insulative housing, a metallic outer shell enclosing the insulative housing, and a metallic inner shell positioned between the metallic outer shell and the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a base and a tongue portion protruding from the base. The contacts include a number of flat contacting portions exposed on a top surface and a bottom surface of the tongue portion, respectively. The tongue portion is located at a center of the metallic outer shell along a vertical direction. The metallic inner shell and the metallic outer shell are in mechanical contact with each other in order to achieve a relative larger grounding area.
