ABSTRACT:
A receptacle connector includes an insulative housing having a bottom face mounted to a circuit board and a front face defining an interior space for receiving a mating plug connector. Grooves are defined in upper and lower inside faces of the interior space for receiving and retaining contact elements that electrically engage with conductive pins of the plug connector. Mounting sections of the contact elements extend beyond the bottom face of the housing for connecting to the circuit board. The mounting sections of the upper side contact elements are surface mounted to the circuit board, while the mounting sections of the lower side contact elements are arranged in two rows and mounted to the circuit board by means of a through hole soldering technique. A shielding member has a top panel and two side panels respectively positioned on and abutting against a top face and two side faces of the housing for enclosing the housing and shielding the contact elements. The shielding member has grounding tabs extending from side panels thereof for being grounded to the circuit board.
