Electrical connector

An electrical connector comprising an insulating body, wherein the insulating body has a base portion, a thickened step portion, and a tongue portion, wherein the thickened step portion is located at a root of the tongue portion;

• a first metallic member and a second metallic member are respectively disposed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the thickened step portion;
• a plurality of terminals categorized into two terminal sets, wherein front flat contact portions of the two terminal sets are respectively disposed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the tongue portion;
• a mid-plate disposed inside the insulating body and located between the two terminal sets, wherein the mid-plate is located between the first metallic member and the second metallic member;
• and
• a metallic shell is disposed on an exterior of the insulating body to surround the first metallic member, the second metallic member, and the two terminal sets, wherein the insulating body comprises a first structure member, a second structure member and a third structure member, wherein the first structure member and the second structure member are respectively combined with the two terminal sets through insert molding to form two assemblies;
• after the two assemblies, the first metallic member, the second metallic member, and the mid-plate are correspondingly assembled, the mid-plate is disposed between the two assemblies, and the third structure member is combined with and encapsulates an exterior of the two assemblies, the first metallic member, the second metallic member, and the mid-plate through insert molding to form the insulating body such that the front flat contact portion of each of the terminals is exposed out of the tongue portion, and a portion of the first metallic member and a portion of the second metallic member are exposed out of the thickened step portion.
