Abstract:
An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing having a base and a tongue; an upper and lower rows of contacts arranged in the insulative housing and exposed respectively to an upper and lower surfaces of the tongue, each row of contacts including an outermost ground contact, the ground contact in the lower row having a contacting portion, a tail portion, and an intermediate portion between the contacting portion and the tail portion; a metallic element arranged between the upper row of contacts and the lower row of contacts; and a shielding shell enclosing the insulative housing; wherein the ground contact in the upper row and the ground contact in the lower row are in contact with the metallic element; and the ground contact in the upper row and the ground contact in the lower row share same tail portion of the ground contact in the lower row.

Claim (Index 4):
An electrical connector comprising:\n an insulative housing including a base, and a tongue extending forwardly from the base in a front-to-back direction and defining upper and lower mating surfaces opposite to each other in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction; a plurality of upper contacts and a plurality of lower contacts retained in the housing, each of most said upper contacts and said lower contacts including a front contacting section and a rear soldering section, the contacting sections of the upper contacts being exposed upon the upper mating surface while the contacting sections of the lower contacts being exposed upon the lower mating surface, the solder sections of the upper contacts and those of the lower contacts being exposed rearwardly outside of the housing and arranged in one row along a transverse direction perpendicular to both said vertical direction and said front-to-back direction; the contacting sections of some of the upper contacts and those of the corresponding ones of the lower contacts being paired with corresponding metallic plates intimately sandwiched therebetween in the vertical direction, respectively; wherein in each paired upper contact and lower contact with the corresponding metallic plate therebetween, only one of said paired upper contact and lower contact has the corresponding soldering section while the other has not.
