Electrical receptacle connector

An electrical receptacle connector, comprising:

• an insulated housing comprising a base portion and tongue portion, wherein one end of the tongue portion extends outwardly from one side of the base portion;
• a plurality of terminals held at the insulated housing and arranged into two rows, wherein each of the terminals comprises a contact portion and a body portion;
• the body portions are held at the base portion, and the contact portions are exposed from two faces of the tongue portion;
• each of the terminals has a protrusion, each of the protrusions is at an end portion of a corresponding one of the contact portions and extends into the tongue portion;
• each of the contact portions has a first thickness, and each of the protrusions has a second thickness;
• and
• a metallic plate, wherein the metallic plate is at the tongue portion and between the terminals which are arranged into two rows;
• the metallic plate has a main body and a plurality of extension portions, each of the extension portions extends outwardly from the main body and corresponds to the protrusion of a corresponding one of the terminals;
• each of the extension portions has a third thickness, the main body has a fourth thickness, and the third thickness is less than the fourth thickness;
• a distance between each of the protrusions and a corresponding one of the extension portions is less than a distance between each of the contact portions and the corresponding one of the extension portions, and a retaining spacing is between each of the protrusions and the corresponding one of the extension portions.
