Claim:
1. An electrical connector, defining an insertion port, a mating direction, a transverse direction perpendicular to the mating direction, and a vertical direction perpendicular to the mating direction and the transverse direction, comprising: an insulative housing; a plurality of terminals retained in the insulative housing, the terminals having a plurality of grounding contacts, power contacts, and signal contacts, each terminal having a contacting portion exposed from the insulative housing, an inclined portion bent forwardly from the contacting portion at a bending point and retained in the insulative housing, and a soldering portion extending backwardly, the bending points of the terminals having first bending points located at the grounding contacts, second bending points located at the power contacts, and third bending points located at the signal contacts, a distance between the first bending points of the grounding contacts and the insertion port being larger than that between the second bending points of the power contacts and the insertion port and smaller than that between the third bending points of the signal contacts and the insertion port; and a metal shell attached to the insulative housing; a metallic shielding plate retained in the insulative housing, and wherein the metal shell has a main portion, a connecting portion bent downwardly from a rear end of the main portion, a shielding wall bent backwardly from a bottom end of the connecting portion, and a pair of affixed arms extending forwardly from two sides of the shielding wall, the main portion defines an upper surface, a lower surface, a pair of side surfaces connected with the upper surface and the lower surface, and a pair of lateral wall extending backwardly from the side surfaces and located beside the shielding wall, and the affixed arms are resisted against by the lateral walls; wherein the lateral wall of the metal shell includes a pair of first soldering sections extending downwardly therefrom, the metallic shielding plate has a pair of soldering legs, the soldering legs are close to the first soldering sections and beyond adjoining the first soldering sections, and the affixed arms are located above the first soldering sections along the vertical direction; wherein the side surfaces have a pair of second soldering sections, each second soldering section includes a panel portion extending from the side surface and a vertical portion extending downwardly from the panel portion, and the panel portion has a dimple close to the insertion port and protruding downwardly; a shielding shell located in the metal shell, a front end of the shielding shell being exposed from the metal shell.
