Electrical connector with improved contact arrangement

An electrical connector defining an inserting port for connecting a corresponding plug, comprising:

• a first contact module comprising a first housing and a plurality of first contacts insert molded in the first housing, the first housing having a tongue extending into the inserting portion, each first contact having a first contact portion extending to a free end of the tongue;
• a second contact module comprising a second housing and a plurality of second contacts insert molded in the second housing, each second contact having a second contact portion extending out of the second housing along a length direction of the second housing, the second contact portions extending to the tongue and offsetting with the first contact portion along a length direction of the tongue;
• and
• a metal shell fixing the first contact module and the second contact module together.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a first insulative unit defining a mating tongue with opposite first and second faces thereof, a plurality of passageways formed in the first face;
• a plurality of first contacts disposed in the first unit, each of the first contacts defining a planar un-deflectable contacting section exposed upon a front portion of the first face;
• a second insulative unit;
• a plurality of second contacts disposed in the second unit with a curved deflectable contacting portion extending forward beyond the second unit and extending into the corresponding passageway with a contact point region exposed outside of the mating tongue away from the first face;
• wherein
• said first unit and said second unit are assembled with each other.
