1. A receptacle connector for being-in contact with a metal shell of a plug connector when the plug connector is inserted into the receptacle connector, comprising: a metal shell comprising: a plurality of first surfaces including an upper surface and a bottom surface; and a plurality of second surfaces including a right surface and a left surface, which are connected to two ends of the first surfaces so as to form an inserting window; a plurality of elastic pieces disposed on the first surfaces; and a plurality of auxiliary fastening members disposed on at least two corners of the first surfaces and near the inserting window, each of the auxiliary fastening members includes a contacting portion formed by extruding an inner face of the first surface toward an inner space of the metal shell of the receptacle connector, and the two ends of the contacting portion connected to the first surface; wherein when the contacting portions are in contact with the metal shell of the plug connector, the contact area between the metal shell of the plug connector and the auxiliary fastening members are increased by the contacting portions so as to reduce the electrical impedance between the metal shell of the plug connector and the metal shell of the receptacle connector.
