    Abstract: A method of making an electrical connector which includes an insulative housing having a tongue with two opposite surfaces and plural contacts with contacting portions exposed to the two opposite surfaces of the tongue is characterized by the steps of: forming the plurality of contacts from a single contact carrier to have one group of contacts thereof each with a respective contacting portion connected to a first carrier strip and the other group of contacts thereof each with a respective contacting portion connected to a second carrier strip situated beside the first carrier strip; insert-molding the plurality of contacts with an insulator to form the insulative housing while exposing front ends of the plurality of contacts; and severing the first carrier strip and the second carrier strip from the front ends of the plurality of contacts.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of terminals disposed in the insulative housing, a metallic shielding plate, and a shell. The insulative housing defines a base portion and a tongue portion extending upwardly from the base portion. The terminals have at least one grounding contact located laterally. The at least one grounding contact has a connecting portion retained in the base portion, a soldering portion extending backwardly from the base portion, and a tail portion extending upwardly from the connecting portion and exposed from a gap of the tongue portion. The metallic shielding plate has a bridge portion enclosing a front end of the tongue portion and a pair of side portions extending backwardly from two sides of the bridge portion. The side portions partly cover side edges of the tongue portion and electrically connect with the tail portions of the at least one grounding contact.
