1. A receptacle connector intended for mounting on a printed circuit board, comprising:
- a top insert molding part including a top insulating housing equipped with a plurality of upper contacts with contacting sections extending beyond a front face of the top insulating housing;
a main insert molding part including a main insulating housing equipped with a metallic plate, the main insulating housing defining a plurality of grooves on a top surface and the metallic plate disposed between the top surface and a lower surface opposite to the top surface, the shielding plate being equipped with a pair of immoveable locking notches in two opposite lateral sides;
a metallic shell;
wherein the top insert molding part is assembled and retained on the main insert part and the contacting sections of the top insert molding art are received in the grooves of the main insert molding part so that a mating tongue is constructed;
wherein the main insert molding part includes a rear base and a front tongue, the grooves are disposed on the top surface of the front tongue, the opposite lateral sides of the shielding plates protrude beyond corresponding lateral sides of the front tongue;
wherein said metallic shell enclosing the insulating housing;
wherein the metallic shell comprises a front region surrounding the mating tongue to defines a mating cavity among the mating tongue the front region into which a plug connector is inserted in either of two insertion orientations, a middle retention region encircled the base and confronting against a pair of rear protrusions and a rear region with a rear stopper to limit a rearward movement of the insulating housing.

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.
