Electrical connector featured USB/eSATA interfaces

An electrical connector for use with both first plug and second plug, comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a base with a mating tongue extending forwardly therefrom, said mating tongue defining opposite first and second surfaces thereon;
• a plurality of first contacts disposed in the housing with first side contacting sections on the first surface and second side contacting sections on the second surface;
• a plurality of second contacts disposed in the housing with contacting portions on the second surface behind the second contacting section;
• wherein
• the housing defines a mating port enclosing said mating tongue with sufficient dimensions and proper configurations thereof in a vertical direction for allowing not only the second plug to be inserted into the mating port in one orientation for electrically and mechanically connecting to the corresponding contacting portions, but also the first plug to be inserted into the mating port with two opposite orientations for respectively electrically and mechanically connecting to the corresponding first side contacting sections and second side contacting sections.

An electrical connector, comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a mating port and a mating tongue received in the mating port;
• a plurality of eSATA contacts, all eSATA contacts each comprising a first contacting portion exposing to a first surface of the mating tongue and a second contacting portion exposing to a second surface of the mating tongue opposite to the first surface;
• a plurality of USB contacts, all USB contacts each comprising an elastic contacting section exposing to the second surface and behind the second contacting portions of the eSATA contacts;
• every second contact portion of the eSATA contact bending from the corresponding first contact portion without any shift along a transverse direction of the eSATA contacts arranged on the first surface of the mating tongue.
