An electrical connector (100) includes an insulated housing (1), a number of terminals (2) received in the insulated housing (1), a metal shell (3) assembled to the insulated housing (1). The metal shell (3) includes an inverted U-shaped body portion (30), with a pair of arms (33) extending rearward from rear edges of transversal walls (32) and a spring member (34) slantways extending downward and rearward from rear edge of an upper wall (31) thereof. The insulated housing (1) further has a pair of enforcing beams (16) attached to the lower sections thereof and extending beyond a front face of the insulated housing (1). The insulated housing (1) is assembled between the arms (33) of the metal shell (3), with the body portion (30) located forwardly of the insulated housing (1) and the spring member (34) located above of the insulated housing (1). Each of the pair of enforcing beams (16) defines a passage (163) along a mating direction sandwiching lower sections of the corresponding arm (33) and the transversal wall (32) of the metal shell (3).
