A receptacle connector for receiving a complementary plug includes an insulative housing (100), a number of contacts (200) received in the housing, a metallic shell (300) partially covering the housing and a pair of fixing members (400) assembled between the housing and the shell. The housing has a pair of end walls (103) including a top wall and a bottom wall, a rear wall (104), a pair of side walls (102), and a receiving space (105) defined therebetween for receiving the complementary plug. The rear wall defines a number of receiving channels (113). The top wall defines a top surface (117) and a plurality of receiving slots (111) opened on the top surface. Each contact includes a retention portion (201), a contact portion (202) and a tail portion (205). The top wall forms a protrusion (112) protruded in each receiving slot, and each contact portion has a free end (204) abutting against the protrusion and being capable of moving in the receiving slot when the contact portion is engaged with and deflected by the complementary plug. |
