Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating housing defining a receiving cavity opening forwards for receiving a mating plug in a mating direction and a mounting face, a plurality of contacts retained in the insulating hosing and having contacting portions projecting into the cavity, and a clip member retained in a rear portion of the housing and having a connecting portion and a pair of resilient arms extending from two opposite ends of the connecting portion. The two resilient arms and the connecting portion each define a clamping portion respectively to retain the mating plug in the receiving cavity.
