Claim Text:
1. An electrical connector comprising: a conductive shell, the conductive shell having a mating portion extending forwardly and an accommodate room recessed from a rear end thereof, the mating portion defining a first mating face; a terminal module, the terminal module secured in the accommodate room and comprising a first insulator and a plurality of first terminals retained in the first insulator, the first insulator having a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, the first terminals having first contacting portions protruding out of the first face of the first insulator; and a shielding plate; wherein the shielding plate is located within the accommodate room and contacts with the conductive shell, and the shielding plate upwardly presses on the second face of the first insulator so as to make the first contacting portions of the first terminals be exposed to the first mating face; wherein the shielding plate has a shielding section with a front region thereof is thinner than a rear region thereof and is located between the first and second terminals, the shielding plate has two elastic arms extending outwardly from two sides thereof, and the elastic arms contact with the conductive shell; wherein the elastic arm extends rearwards and at an inclined angle, and two hollow slots are formed between the elastic arms and the shielding section; wherein the shielding plate has two opposite surfaces each of which is separately provided with a first limiting part, and each of the first and second insulators has a second limiting part on the second and fourth faces thereof corresponding to the first limiting parts; wherein each of the first limiting parts comprises a first inserting slot and a first inserting rib, each of the second limiting parts in the second and the fourth faces has a second inserting rib and a second inserting slot corresponding to the first limiting parts.
