A receptacle connector with latch mechanism includes a receptacle housing which has a mating face, a plurality of sidewalls defining a cavity opening to the mating face, and a plurality of contacts receiving chambers formed in the cavity, a plurality of contacts received in the chambers, and a shielding cover having a plurality of side panels enclosing the sidewalls of the receptacle housing. One sidewall defines a pair of slots opening to the mating face, thereby forming a cantilevered latch arm between the pair of slots. One side panel defines a pair of gaps corresponding to the pair of slots, thereby forming a cantilevered elastic slice between the gaps that acts coordinately with the cantilevered latch arm to latch a mating plug connector when the mating plug connector is inserted into the cavity of the receptacle housing.
