An electrical connector of the present invention for receiving a mating connector plug comprises an insulative housing, a shield covering a front of the insulative housing, and a terminal group received in the insulative housing for electrically connecting with the plug. The insulative housing has a front surface, and a pair of recesses in a pair of sidewalls. Each recess defines an inner wall and a bottom face. The shield comprises a front surface and a pair of securing tabs formed in a pair of side plates. Each securing tab has a pair of tines on the end. A distance from a front of each tine to a rearward side of the shield front surface is not more than the distance from the inner walls to the front surface of the insulative housing. In assembly, the tines of the securing tabs are bent into the corresponding recesses to securely engage with the inner walls and the bottom faces of the insulative housing.
