Patent ID: 8303347

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing defining a mating port and a tongue portion received in the mating port extending in mating direction and a width direction perpendicular to the mating direction, the tongue portion defining a plurality of passageways extending in the mating direction and a plurality of communicating slots extending downwardly and communicating with the passageways, each passageway wider than the communicating slot which is thereabove; a plurality of contacts secured in the passageways of the insulative housing, each contact defining a pair of retention portion retained in the passageway, a connecting portion receiving in the passageway and a contacting portion bending upwardly from the connecting portion through the communicating slot to the mating port, the connecting portions elastically moving in the passageways in a thickness direction perpendicular to the tongue portion; wherein the connecting portion defines a pair of restricting portions respectively extending from two sides thereof in the width direction, the pair of restricting portions is substantially equal to the passageway in a width dimension so that the restricting portions prevents the connecting portion in the passageway from extending beyond the communicating slot and from swaying in the passageway.
