Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a set of first contacts retained in the insulative housing and a metal shell. The insulative housing includes a tongue plate with a plurality of first passageways defined thereon. The first contacts include first contacting sections received in the first passageways, first bending sections and first tail sections. The first bending sections include a plurality of first offset sections and at least one second offset section. A first slope of each first offset section is of negative number while a second slope of the second offset section is of positive number so that a space between each adjacent two first tail sections is much larger than that of the corresponding first contacting sections for easily soldering of the first tail sections.
