Abstract
A USB jack includes a case and an installation plate. The case is adapted for receiving a USB plug and includes a top wall and a bottom wall opposite to the top wall. The installation plate is located in the case and between the top wall and the bottom wall. A number of first pins is secured to a top surface of the installation plate facing the top wall, and a number of second pins is secured to a bottom surface of the installation plate facing the bottom wall. The number of first pins and the number of second pins abut a plurality of resilient pieces of the USB plug and are electronically connected with the plurality of resilient pieces of the USB plug along two opposite directions. A USB plug corresponding to the USB jack is further disclosed.
