Electrical connector with engaging arms formed on cover

An electrical connector comprising:

• an insulative housing comprising a body and a frame forwardly connecting with the body, the frame defining a front mating surface, the body comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a rear wall with a plug-receiving cavity formed thereby, the plug-receiving cavity extending forwardly through the front mating surface in a first direction, the frame being higher than the top wall so as to form a step therebetween;
• a plurality of contacts each comprising a resilient contacting portion slantwise extending into the plug-receiving cavity;
• a cover shielding the insulative housing and comprising a top plate covering the top wall and a pair of side plates respectively covering the pair of side walls, a front end of the top plate being restricted by the step along the first direction, each side plate comprising an engaging arm extending inwardly therefrom;
• wherein
• the insulative housing defines a pair of cutouts located behind the front mating surface along the first direction, the pair of cutouts are in communication with the plug-receiving cavity, and the pair of engaging arms extending into the plug-receiving cavity through the pair of cutouts, respectively.
