Abstract
A receptacle comprises a shell made of metal and a cage formed of one or more metal plates. The shell is attachable to a case made of metal. The cage is mountable on a board arranged in the case. The cage receives an internal module under a mated state where the receptacle is mated with a plug. The cage has a cage rear plate and is provided with a terminal made of metal and a contact portion made of metal. The terminal extends downward from the cage rear plate. The contact portion is nearer to the cage rear plate than to the front end of the cage in a front-rear direction. When the cage is mounted on the board and the shell is attached to the case, the shell covers the cage, the terminal is fixed to the board, and the contact portion is pressed against the shell.
