A plug connector (100) includes a shell (10) and a printed circuit board (20) received in the shell. The printed circuit board includes a grounding layer (22), a conductive layer (21) disposed at a first side of the grounding layer, and an insulative layer (23) disposed therebetween. The conductive layer includes a pair of grounding traces (210), and a signal channel disposed between and isolated with the grounding traces. The signal channel includes a signal mating portion (221) disposed at a front portion. Each of the grounding traces includes a grounding mating portion (211) disposed at a front portion. Each of the grounding mating portions has a front end extending beyond the signal mating portion. The printed circuit board includes a pair of connecting traces (214). Each of the front ends of the grounding mating portions directly connects with the grounding layer by corresponding one of the connecting traces.
