Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (100) comprises: a first insulative housing having a base portion (11) and a mating portion (12), and a second insulative housing (4) located on the base portion. The second insulative housing defines a body portion (41) and a tongue portion (42). A number of contacts (2) are formed in the first and second insulative housings. Each of the contact defines a first mating section (201) and a second mating section (202), and a curved connecting section connected with the first and second mating sections. A first metallic shell (3) encloses and engages with the first insulative housing. A second metallic shell (5) encloses the second insulative housing and engages with the first insulative housing. And, a metallic connecting piece (6) respectively connects with the first and second metallic shells.
