The top plate and the bottom plate are respectively provided with multiple accommodating grooves, which include a wider first accommodating groove and a narrower second accommodating groove. Each terminal has an elastic portion accommodated in a corresponding accommodating groove. A first clearance is provided between the elastic portion and a side of the first accommodating groove close to the corresponding side plate. A second clearance is provided between the elastic portion and a side of the second accommodating groove close to the first accommodating groove. The first clearance is greater than the second clearance The shell has a top wall and two side walls. A mating port being defined by the front ends thereof is larger than the mating cavity.
