Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing with a rear base and a mating tongue extending forwardly from the base. Two rows of contacts are retained in the housing. A metallic shielding plate is embedded within the housing and between the two rows of contacts. Each row of contacts defines positions from one to twelve in the transverse direction wherein positions 2&3 and 10&11 are designated for high frequency signal transmission. In the shielding plate the space between corresponding positions 4 and 6, and that between corresponding positions 7 and 9, are of a complete or enlarged hole being essentially fully empty along the front-to-back direction for achieving the high frequency transmission without undesired crosstalk among the corresponding contacts.
