Abstract
A plug connector comprises a housing, a plurality of first terminals, a plurality of second terminals and a pair of side plates. The housing has a base and a tongue extending forwardly from the base. The base has a mating limit portion connecting the tongue. Each first terminal has a resilient contact portion extending out of a plate surface of the tongue. Each second terminal has a flat plate contact portion positioned along and exposed from the plate surface and positioned in front of the resilient contact portions. The pair of side plates are provided, one along each side of the tongue, and the two side plates extend along a first, for-aft, direction above the plate surface so as to help protect the resilient contact portions.
