摘要

An electrical connector includes a metallic shell and a PCB enclosed within the shell. The shell includes a base and a tongue section forwardly extending from the base, and a receiving space extending along the front-to-back direction from the base into the tongue section. The tongue section forms a pair of opposite mating faces with a plurality of openings therein to communicate with the receiving space. A plurality of ribs are formed between every adjacent openings and extend rearwardly into the receiving space in the front-to-back direction. The printed circuit board forms a plurality of notches in a front edge region to receive the corresponding ribs, respectively.
