Abstract
An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10), a number of first contacts (20), a contact module (30) and a metallic shell (40). The insulative housing has a mating face (14), a first receiving cavity (15) and a second receiving cavity (16) recessed from the mating face. The first contacts are disposed in the insulative housing. The contact module is received in the second receiving cavity and has an insulative base (31), a number of second contacts (32) and a shielding plate (33). The metallic shell is attached to the mating face of the insulative housing and having a plate section (41) defining a central opening (410) in alignment with the first receiving cavity, and a pair of opposite ends (42) extending from the plate section and inserted in the insulative housing. The metallic shell has electrical connection with the shielding plate of the contact module.
