6. An electrical connector comprising:
-
a contact module including an insulative housing and a plurality of contacts integrally formed within the housing, the housing including a front tongue and a rear base along a front-to-back direction; a metallic seamless deep drawn sleeve receiving the contact module and including a front part defining a first cross-sectional dimension and a rear part defining a second cross-sectional dimension smaller than the first cross-sectional dimension in both a vertical direction and a lateral direction perpendicular to each other and commonly perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, a transition formed between the front part and the rear part along the front-to-back direction with a forward abutting face which is adapted to be abutted against by a complementary plug connector inserted into the front part of the sleeve a metallic cover secured upon the sleeve;
whereinthe base forms a pair of positioning grooves behind the rear part of the sleeve and exposed to an exterior, and the cover forms a pair of claws engaged with the corresponding positioning grooves for securement therebetween. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
