Abstract
An electrical connector, defining an insertion port, a mating direction, a transverse direction perpendicular to the mating direction, and a vertical direction perpendicular to the mating direction and the transverse direction, includes an insulative housing, a number of terminals retained in the insulative housing, and a metal shell attached to the insulative housing. Each terminal has a soldering portion. The terminals have a number of grounding contacts, power contacts, and signal contacts. A maximum width of the power contact and the grounding contact is larger than that of the signal contact along the transverse direction.
