Abstract
A receptacle connector includes a connector body at least suitable to mate with a plug connector having an insulating housing and a metal case. The metal case encompasses the outside of the insulating housing, and the metal case is made of a suitable metallic material. The connector body includes a plurality of metal terminals and a plastic base. The plastic base includes at least a tongue plate for the metal terminals to interpose therein. The plastic base forms a circumferential gap near a region in the vicinity of the tongue plate. The circumferential gap defines an accommodation space. When the receptacle connector and the plug connector are mated, the metal case at least partially encompasses the outside of the tongue plate. When the receptacle connector and another plug connector with a longer metal case are mated, the longer metal case is accommodated in the circumferential gap.
