Abstract
A receptacle connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals arranged in the insulative housing, a metal shell and a slide mechanism. The metal shell is engaged with the insulative housing to form a first mating space and an entrance for entering into the first mating space. The slide mechanism is provided in the metal shell and comprises a slide block and a reset resilient element connected to the slide block. The slide block can move between a front position close to the entrance and a rear position away from the entrance. When the slide block is positioned at the front position, an inner side face of the slide block and the metal shell together form a second mating space, and the slide block is capable of being pushed to move to the rear position to move out of the first mating space.
