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.
