Abstract
An audio jack connector (100) includes an insulative housing (2) defining a receiving space (20), a number of signal contacts (31, 32) retained in the insulative housing, and a pair of griping contacts (33) retained in the insulative housing too. The signal contacts have a number of first contacting portions (311, 321) extending into the receiving space from a left-and-right direction perpendicular to a mating direction along which an audio plug connector is inserted into the receiving space. The gripping contacts have at least three second contacting portions (332, 333/3331) extending into the receiving space from a vertical direction perpendicular to both the left-and-right direction and the mating direction.
