The insulative housing defines a base portion and a receiving portion extending forwards from the base portion, the receiving portion has a cavity opening towards one side thereof. Each contact defines a retaining portion held in the base portion, a contacting arm provided at one end of the retaining portion and protruding into the cavity, and a mating arm provided at the opposite end of the retaining portion. The temperature sensing element is at least partially received in the cavity and connecting with the contacting arm of the contact in the cavity.
