1. An electrical connector comprising:
- a contact module including;
an insulative housing having a base and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base in a front-to-back direction;
a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing;
a first metallic shell enclosing the contact module, said first metallic shell including opposite bottom and top faces and opposite side faces commonly forming a mating cavity in which the tongue portion extends; and
a second metallic shell attached to an underside of the bottom face;
whereinsaid second metallic shell forms a pair of mounting legs on two opposite sides of a middle plate in a transverse direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, and each of said mounting legs includes a hole extending therethrough in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said front-to-back direction and the transverse direction.

14. An electrical connector comprising:
-
a contact module including; an insulative housing having a base and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base in a front-to-back direction; a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing; and a metallic shell enclosing the contact module, said first metallic shell including opposite bottom and top faces and opposite side faces commonly forming a mating cavity in which the tongue portion extends;
whereinthe side face further includes a rearward extension defining a bending piece abutting against the housing for preventing rearward movement of the housing relative to the shell, and a securing tab opposite to the bending piece in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction to be received in a recess in an underside of the housing for securing. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
