Abstract
An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a plurality of contacts (2) retained in the insulative housing (1) and a metal shell (3). The insulative housing (1) has a base portion (111). The base portion (111) has a front face (112), a top face (113) and a mounting face (114) opposite to the top face (113). The insulative housing (1) has a tongue (115) extending forwardly from the front face (112). The tongue (115) has a left face (1151) and a right face (1152). The metal shell (3) comprises a left wall (34) and a right wall (35). Each contact (2) has a contact portion (211, 221) extending to the left face (1151) of the tongue (115). The space between the left face (1151) and the left wall (34) is larger than that between the right face (1152) and the right wall (35).
