    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a base and a tongue, an upper and lower rows of contacts mounted in the insulative housing and exposed upon the tongue and a pair of grounding pieces separated from each other and retained in the insulative housing between the two rows of contacts. Each grounding piece includes a securing portion disposed in the mating tongue and defines an abutment exposed upon corresponding side face of the mating tongue. The pair of grounding pieces are far away from corresponding power contacts along the transverse direction thereby resulting that the grounding pieces are wholly offset from the power contacts in the vertical direction so as to avoid the power contacts from electrical sparkle.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a number of conductive contacts affixed to the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion. The tongue portion has a stepped portion abutting with the base portion, a horizontal portion located at a front end of the stepped portion, and a boundary line located between the stepped portion and the horizontal portion. The stepped portion is thicker than the horizontal portion. The horizontal portion has two opposite mating surfaces. Each conductive contact has a contacting portion exposed to the mating surface, a connecting portion affixed to the stepped portion and the base portion, and a soldering portion extending outwardly from the base portion. The contacting portion abutting with the boundary line is covered by insulative materials.
