Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing with a plurality of contacts therein and a metallic shell enclosing said housing to form a mating cavity in which the contacting sections of the contacts are exposed upon a mating tongue of the housing, which extends in the mating cavity. A heating device is retained in the housing and located adjacent to the contacting sections of the contacts to expel humidity therefrom and away from the mating cavity.
