Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing defining two upper and lower mating tongues opposite and parallel to each other and commonly exposed in a same mating port; and first and second sets of contacts disposed in the housing, each of said contacts defining a contacting section and a soldering section, the soldering section defining a bottom solder face; wherein the contacting section of the first set of contacts are positioned on one of the upper mating tongue and the lower mating tongue, and the contacting section of the second set of contacts are positioned on the other of the upper mating tongue and lower mating tongue under a condition that a width of the contacting section of each of the first set of the contacts is essentially equal to that of the contacting section of each of the second set of contacts; wherein the soldering sections of the first set of contacts and those of the second set of contacts are alternatively arranged in one row under a condition that a width of each of the bottom soldering faces of the first set of contacts is larger than that of the bottom solder faces of the second set of contacts, while a distance between the neighboring soldering sections of the every adjacent two contacts keeps essentially the same throughout all said one row.
