Abstract:
A pair of locking arms unitarily extends forwardly from opposite inner edges of the transverse bar in a perpendicular manner and are spaced from two opposite side edges of the shielding plate but abutting against the corresponding side edge of the tongue portion. A front end region of each locking arm further grasps a front edge of the tongue portion and optionally connected to the corresponding grounding terminals. The two opposite ends of the transverse bar are also optimally mechanically and electrically connected to the corresponding grounding terminals. The pair of locking arms may extend from two opposite side edges of the shielding plate or from two opposite end regions of the front edge of the shielding plate alternately.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical connector comprising:\n a shielding shell; a contact module disposed in the shielding shell and including: an insulative housing including a base and a tongue portion extending forwardly form the base in a front-to-back direction, the tongue portion forming opposite upper surface and lower surface in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction; a metallic transverses bar embedded within the base; a metallic shielding plate disposed in the tongue portion between the upper surface an the lower surface and linked to the transverse bar; a plurality of upper terminals disposed in the insulative housing with corresponding contacting sections exposed upon the upper surface; a plurality of lower terminals disposed in the insulative housing with corresponding contacting sections exposed upon the lower surface; and a pair of metallic locking arms extending from two opposite front edge of the transverse bar and attached upon two opposite lateral side edges of the tongue portion; wherein each locking arm have a locking engagement region with an outwardly and laterally facing engagement surface which is dimensioned similar to a thickness of the tongue portion in the vertical direction, and a thickness direction of said locking engagement region extends horizontally while a thickness direction of said shielding plate extends in the vertical direction.
