Abstract
An electrical connector for mounting to a printed circuit board for mating with a plug connector, includes an insulative housing and the upper and lower contacts on the housing, each contact including a contacting section, the contacts including grounding contacts each having a free end of the contacting section, and a mounting leg mounted to the corresponding grounding region of the printed circuit board wherein the free ends of the corresponding paired upper grounding contact and lower grounding contact either abut against each other or against a metallic shielding plate embedded within the mating tongue to form a parallel relation between the paired upper grounding contact and lower grounding contact.
