    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, upper and lower contacts disposed in the housing, a metallic shielding plate, and a metallic shield enclosing the housing. The insulative housing includes a first insulator with a first mating tongue thereof, and a second insulator with a second mating tongue thereof wherein the shielding plate is sandwiched between the first insulator and the second insulator. The shielding plate forms a cutout with side edges in two opposite lateral sides. The second insulator forms a pair of pressing parts extending toward the shielding plate with a hook at the end. When the shielding plate is assembled to the second insulator, the hook engages the side edge of the cutout so as to secure the shielding plate to the second insulator in the vertical direction.

    Abstract: An electrical plug connector for mating with a complementary receptacle connector, includes an insulative housing enclosed within a metallic shell and forming a mating cavity and two rows of contacts disposed in the housing by opposite sides of the mating cavity in the vertical direction. The grounding contact includes a first contacting section for contacting the corresponding terminal of the complementary receptacle connector and a second contacting section in front of the first contacting section for contacting the grounding collar of the complementary receptacle connector wherein the second contacting section is optionally connected to the metallic shell.
