Abstract:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative housing comprising a rear base portion and a front tongue portion; a group of first terminals, each first terminal comprising a first retained portion retaining in the insulative housing, a first contacting portion at a second mating surface of the tongue portion, and a first solder portion extending from the insulative housing; a group of second terminals, each second terminal comprising a second connecting portion retaining in the insulative housing, a second contacting portion at the second mating surface of the tongue portion, and a second solder portion extending from the insulative housing; a metal shell surrounding the tongue portion; wherein one terminal of the group of first terminals located adjacent to a lateral side of the tongue portion defines an elastic contacting arm integrally extends from and substantially parallel with the first retained portion thereof, the contacting arm defines an outward-tip projecting outwards from the lateral side of the tongue portion so as to provide a detect pin without any soldering portion; wherein the tongue portion defines a first mating surface opposite to the second mating surface in a vertical direction thereof, the contacting arm extends outwardly parallel to the second mating surface; wherein the tongue portion defines a slot opening through the lateral side between the first and second mating surfaces thereof, the contacting arm is accommodated in the slot; wherein the outward-tip is located behind the first contacting portion of the first terminals in a mating direction; wherein the contacting arm is integrally connecting with the first retained portion through a lateral connecting portion, the connecting portion is located adjacent to a rear end of the first retained portion; wherein the lateral connecting portion is retained in the base portion and located at a same plane to the first retained portion.
