Abstract: A receptacle connector includes an insulative housing defining a base with a mating tongue. A plurality of contacts are disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed on the mating tongue. A metallic shell is assembled to the housing and defines a mating cavity into which the mating tongue extends. A plurality of spring tangs are formed on the shell and extend into the mating cavity for retainable abutment against the inserted plug. A dome switch is located outside of the shell and intimately confronts the corresponding spring tang so as to be activated when the corresponding spring tang is outwardly deflected by the inserted plug. An addition detect pin is electrically connected to the dome switch when the dome switch is activated to verify whether the plug is inserted in the mating cavity or to identify whether a high power is required.
