The plug connector includes an insulating housing, a plurality of terminals mounted into the insulating housing, a shell wrapping the insulating housing. The locking element fixed on the plug connector has a top plate, two opposite sides of the top plate are extended downwards to form a pair of locking plates. A front side of the locking element is extended perpendicularly and outwardly to form at least one connecting arm. A top side of the connecting arm is extended frontward to form a locking arm. The locking arm has a front end extended perpendicularly to form a locking end. When the plug connector is inserted into the receptacle connector, the locking element hooks locking potions provided by the receptacle connector to ensure the connection stability between the plug connector and the receptacle connector.
