An electrical connector, adapted for mounting to a mother board and mating with a plug, includes an insulative housing with a mating tongue forwardly extending therefrom, a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed on the mating tongue and a metallic shell covering the housing. The metallic shell defines a mating cavity surrounding the mating tongue and has a plurality of spring tangs extending into the mating cavity. A detect member is assembled to a bottom of the electrical connector, and includes a printed circuit board with some dome switches under corresponding spring tang and some additional detection pins electrically connecting the dome switches. When the plug is inserted, the spring tangs will deflect downwardly and activate the dome switch.

A receptacle connector includes an insulative housing defining a base with a mating tongue. A plurality of contacts are disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed on the mating tongue. A metallic shell is assembled to the housing and defines a mating cavity into which the mating tongue extends. A plurality of spring tangs are formed on the shell and extend into the mating cavity for retainable abutment against the inserted plug. A dome switch is located outside of the shell and intimately confronts the corresponding spring tang so as to be activated when the corresponding spring tang is outwardly deflected by the inserted plug. An addition detect pin is electrically connected to the dome switch when the dome switch is activated to verify whether the plug is inserted in the mating cavity or to identify whether a high power is required.

An assembly includes a receptacle and a plug. The plug comprises a plug insulative housing with a front mating region, a plurality of plug contacts disposed in the housing with plug contacting sections exposed upon the mating region and a plug metallic shell enclosing the front mating region to commonly define a plug mating port. The plug metallic shell defines essentially a rectangular cross-section including two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides perpendicular to each other. A pair of chamfered structures is formed on two opposite corners along one of the two long sides, and a centered recessed area is formed on the other of said two long sides. The front mating region intimately abuts against the other of the two long sides. The receptacle has a receptacle metallic shell with a similar contour of the plug metallic shell.

An electrical connector assembly comprises a first connector unit and a second connector. The first connector unit comprises a first connector having an insulative housing with a plurality of contacts mounted thereon. A printed circuit board, on which the first connector is seated, defines a pair of mounting sections at opposite ends thereof and locate adjacent to the first connector. An insulative cover is attached to a first surface of the printed circuit board which is opposite to the first connector. The insulative cover forms a pair of guiding posts retained in said mounting sections and a pair of stand-off sections located at opposite ends thereof for supporting the first connector during the mating process. A metallic cover is attached to the insulative cover. The second connector defines a pair of guiding apertures at opposite ends thereof for receiving said guiding posts.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a mating slot, a number of contacts and a pair of metal hold downs fastened in the insulative housing. Each contact includes a contacting portion extending into the mating slot. Each metal hold down includes a first portion, a second portion perpendicular to the first portion and a connecting portion connecting the first portion and the second portion. The first portion defines a first hole, the second portion defines a second hole for maintaining solders, and the connecting portion defines a third hole connecting the first hole and the second hole. The first portion and the connecting portion are insert molded in the insulative housing with material of the insulative housing filling in the first and the third holes.
