1. A receptacle connector for connection with a plug connector to electrically connect one pair of boards, the receptacle connector comprising:
an insulative receptacle housing comprising a bottom portion, first sidewall portions protruding along first opposite side borders of the bottom portion and facing each other, the first sidewall portions extending along a longitudinal direction of the receptacle housing, a second sidewall portions protruding along second opposite side borders of the bottom portion and facing each other, each second sidewall portion being connected with each first sidewall portion, a center protrusion portion protruding from a center of the bottom portion and extending along the longitudinal direction, and a connection recess portion formed between the sidewall portions and the center protrusion portion, each sidewall portion having an inner surface facing the center protrusion portion, an opposite outer surface, and upper and lower surfaces extending between the inner and outer surfaces;
a plurality of conductive receptacle terminals extending into the connection recess portion, each of the receptacle terminals being configured to contact a conductive terminal of the plug connector through a single contact point; and
a receptacle metal shell comprising fitting nail portions coupled to the second sidewall portions, a crosstalk blocking portion extended from at least one of the fitting nail portions and along the center protrusion portion to separate the receptacle terminals on both sides facing each other and to block crosstalk between the receptacle terminals, and noise blocking portions extending over the outer surfaces of the first sidewall portions to block external noise, wherein the receptacle metal shell is electrically isolated from the conductive receptacle terminals by the insulative receptacle housing and is configured to be soldered to one of the boards to fix the receptacle housing to the one board.
