Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of contacts retained in the insulative housing and a cover shielding the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a top wall, a pair of side walls and a plug-receiving cavity formed thereby. Each contact includes a resilient contacting portion extending into the plug-receiving cavity. The cover includes a top plate covering the top wall and a pair of side plates respectively covering the pair of side walls. Each side plate includes an engaging arm extending inwardly therefrom. The insulative housing defines a pair of cutouts formed at boundaries of the top wall and the pair of side walls. The pair of engaging arms extend into the plug-receiving cavity through the pair of cutouts, respectively.
