Abstract
An electrical plug connector includes a plug metal shell, an insulation housing bracket, a plug grounding contact, and a grounding member. The plug metal shell encloses a tongue portion of the insulation housing bracket. The plug grounding contact is held inside the insulation housing bracket. The grounding member is disposed between the plug metal shell and the plug grounding contact and spaced from the first side of the insulation housing bracket. A connecting portion is selectively disposed on the grounding member or on the plug grounding contact. The connecting portion mechanically contacts to the grounding member and the plug grounding contact such that the grounding member is electrically connected to the plug grounding contact.
