Claim:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative seat defining a vertical first mating surface and a mating portion extending forwardly from the first mating surface along a front-to-back direction, the mating portion defining an inclined second mating surface; a plurality of terminals fixed to the insulative seat and each defining a contacting portion disposed in the mating portion and a soldering portion extending outside of the insulative seat; and a pair of magnetic elements retained in the insulative seat by two sides of the mating portion in a transverse direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction; and a shell located in front of the electrical connector and defining a receiving cavity in which said mating portion is disposed, the second mating surface being located behind a front face of the shell, the mating portion being intimately contacting the shell in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said front-to-back direction and said transverse direction while being spaced from the shell in the transverse direction to leave two opposite spaces which are located by two sides of the mating portion in the transverse direction and aligned with the corresponding magnetic elements in the front-to-back direction, respectively; wherein the mating portion defines a shallow recess recessed backwardly from the second mating surface, and the contacting portion defines a free end exposed in the shallow recess and locating behind the second mating surface.
