The tongue defines a plurality of passageways (14, 19) in a longitudinal direction. Each first contact has a first beam (213) received in a corresponding passageway and each first contact has a first contact portion in a front portion thereof. Each second contact includes a second beam (223) received in a corresponding passageway and each second contact includes a second contact portion in a front portion thereof. The first beams of the first contacts and the second beams of the second contacts are alternatively arranged in the passageways.
