Abstract

A USB receptacle connector includes a dielectric housing having a rear wall and an inner space. A plate extends from the rear wall through the inner space to an outside of the housing. The plate defines a number of horizontal contact passageways. The rear wall defines a number of vertical contact passageways in communication with the horizontal contact passageways. Two slots are defined from two lateral sides of the rear wall to the inner space of the housing. A number of contacts having contact portions and tail portions are interferentially received in the corresponding horizontal and vertical contact passageways. A front metal shielding has a rear part received in the inner space of the housing, and two side walls having rear portions extending into the slots to fixedly engage with the housing. The front shielding member covers the contact portions of the contacts. A rear shielding member has two side walls defining two engaging ridges extending into the slots to be fittingly received in two slits defined in the rear portions of the two side walls of the front shielding member. The rear shielding member covers the tail portions of the contacts.
