Abstract:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a base and a tongue, an upper and lower rows of contacts mounted in the insulative housing and exposed upon the tongue and a pair of grounding pieces separated from each other and retained in the insulative housing between the two rows of contacts. Each grounding piece includes a securing portion disposed in the mating tongue and defines an abutment exposed upon corresponding side face of the mating tongue. The pair of grounding pieces are far away from corresponding power contacts along the transverse direction thereby resulting that the grounding pieces are wholly offset from the power contacts in the vertical direction so as to avoid the power contacts from electrical sparkle.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical connector comprising:\n an insulative housing having a base and a mating tongue with a thickened step at a root to the base; a first row and a second row of contacts disposed in the insulative housing and comprising contact portions exposed upon the mating tongue and arranged along a transverse direction and tail portions out of the base, each row of contacts at least are categoried with two grounding contacts at two outermost positions and two power contacts at inner sides of corresponding grounding contacts along the transverse direction; and a pair of grounding pieces disposed the insulative housing and between and discrete from the first and second rows of the contacts, each grounding piece comprising a securing portion disposed in the mating tongue and defines an abutment exposed upon corresponding side face of the mating tongue; wherein the pair of grounding pieces are completely separated from each other and each grounding piece is located between and isolated from corresponding grounding contacts in a vertical direction perpendicular to the transverse direction and are far away from corresponding power contacts along the transverse direction thereby resulting that the grounding pieces are wholly offset from the power contacts in the vertical direction.
