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