Abstract
An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a plurality of terminals (2) retained in the insulative housing (1), and a stiffener (3) affixed to the insulative housing (1). The insulative housing (1) includes a base portion (11) and a tongue portion (12) extending forwardly from the base portion (11). The tongue portion (12) defines a plurality of terminal-receiving slots (1221) and includes an upper surface (121), a bottom surface (122), a pair of side surfaces (123) and a fore-end surface (124). The stiffener (3) has a top plate (31) covering the upper surface (121) of the tongue portion (12) and an insulative layer (30) plating therein. The stiffener (3) defines an insulative region (313) against which a plurality of molds resisted in insert-molding the stiffener (3) with the insulative housing (1), said insulative region (313) coated with an insulative layer (30).
