Claims11
An electrical connector for mating with a plug connector, comprising:
- a terminal module including an insulative housing retaining a plurality of contacts therein and including a rear base and a front tongue extending forwardly from the base along a front-to-back direction;
- and
- a metallic shielding shell enclosing the housing, and formed by sheet metal, and including a front shell part and a rear shell part discrete from each other but secured to each other in a back-to-back manner with a divider therebetween in said front-to-back direction;
- wherein
- said front shell part forms a front receiving space in front of the divider for receiving the complementary plug connector, and said rear shell part forms a rear receiving space behind the divider to receive the base therein.
