Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing defining a mating tongue with thereon a mating face facing toward a mating port in which the mating tongue is located; a set of first contacts disposed in the housing and each defining a first contact section on a front region of the mating face, and a first mounting section behind the mating tongue; and a set of second contacts disposed in the housing and each defining a second contact section on a rear region of the mating face, and a second mounting section behind the mating tongue; wherein no portions of either the first contacts or the second contacts are substantially exposed upon a front edge of the mating tongue in a mating direction so as to prevent ESD (Electrostatic Discharge); wherein said mating tongue defines another face opposite to the mating face, and an extending portion of each of said first contacts, which is located between the first contact section and the first mounting section, lies upon said another face for confrontation with a complementary connector.
