Abstract

An electrical receptacle connector includes a first insulated member and a second insulated member that are received in a metallic shell. A plurality of first receptacle terminals and a plurality of second receptacle terminals are respectively held in the first insulated member and the second insulated member. The first insulated member includes a tongue portion. The second insulated member includes a terminal positioning portion on the surface of the first insulated member. The surface of the terminal positioning portion and the surface of the tongue portion are at the same horizontal plane. A surface texture of the terminal positioning portion is different from a surface texture of the tongue portion.

First claim
