The insulative housing comprises a base portion (10) and a terminal supporting portion (12) extending forwardly from the base portion. Each terminal has a contact portion (20) extending along the terminal supporting portion. The shell is attached to the insulative housing and has a mating frame (31) surrounding the contact portions and the terminal supporting portion to define a mating cavity therebetween.
