1. A receptacle connector intended for mounting on a printed circuit board, comprising:
- a top insert molding part including a top insulating housing inserting molded with a row of upper contacts with contacting sections extending beyond a front face of the top insulating housing; and
a main insert molding part including a main insulating housing inserting molded with a metallic plate;
wherein the main insert molding part includes a rear base and a front tongue, a plurality of grooves are disposed on a top surface of the front tongue, the opposite lateral sides of the shielding plates protrude beyond corresponding lateral sides of the front tongue and provides a pair of immoveable locking edges;
wherein the top insert molding part is assembled and retained on the main insert part in an upper to lower direction so that the contacting sections of the top insert molding part are received in the grooves of the main insert molding part thereby forming a mating tongue.

Abstract
A receptacle connector mounted to the printed circuit board, includes an insulative housing defining a mating tongue and a metallic shell enclosing the housing to form a mating cavity in which said mating tongue forwardly extends. A complementary plug connector includes a shell with a bull-nose tip. A metallic piece is mounted around a root of the mating tongue and equipped with a plurality of spring tangs to contact the relatively rigid bull-nose tip of the shell of the complementary connector for EMI/RFI protection.
