A vertical socket connector has an insulating housing, an insulating bracket, multiple first terminals, multiple second terminals and a shell. The insulating bracket is mounted on the insulating housing. The first terminals are mounted on the insulating housing. The second terminals are mounted on the insulating bracket. The shell covers the insulating housing, insulating bracket and terminals and forms a socket hole. Soldering sections of the first and second terminals protrude horizontally backward through rears of the insulating housing and insulating bracket so that the vertical socket connector is mounted vertically on a PCB with the socket hole opposite to the PCB.
