The base portion includes a front side, a rear side opposite to the front side, at least one retaining slot located in the front side of the base portion. The shielding shell includes at least one front stopping portion protruding into the mating cavity and received in the retaining slot, the at least one front stopping portion includes a front surface located beyond the front side of the base portion to prevent damage the base portion when a mating connector inserting into the electrical connector.
