Claim:
1. A receptacle connector intended for mounting on a printed circuit board, comprising: a first insert molding part including a first insulating housing inserting molded with a row of first contacts with contacting sections extending beyond a front face of the first insulating housing; and a second insert molding part including a second insulating housing inserting molded with a metallic plate; wherein the second insert molding part includes a rear base and a front tongue, a plurality of grooves are disposed on a first surface of the front tongue, the opposite lateral sides of the shielding plates protrude beyond corresponding lateral sides of the front tongue and provides a pair of immoveable locking edges; wherein the first insert molding part is assembled and retained on the second insert part in an upper to lower direction so that the contacting sections of the first insert molding part are received in the grooves of the second insert molding part thereby forming a mating tongue; further comprising a metallic shell surrounding the mating tongue to define a mating cavity between the metallic shell and the mating tongue into which a plug connector is inserted in either of two insertion orientations; wherein the first insert molding part includes a base without any front tongue, the bases of the first insert molding part and the second insert molding part are retained together and are defined as a main base on which the metallic shell is retained; wherein the metallic shell comprises a front region surrounding the mating tongue to define the mating cavity, a middle region fitly encircled the main base and confronting against a pair of rear protrusion and a rear region with a rear stop to limit a rearward movement of the main base.
