6. A board-to-board socket, comprising a socket body, a socket terminal, and a socket strengthener, wherein
the socket body comprises a bottom wall, socket side walls formed by protruding upward from two longitudinal ends of the bottom wall, socket guide parts formed at two lateral ends of the socket body, and an island part formed by protruding upward from the bottom wall,
wherein each of the socket guide parts comprises a plug guide part receiving cavity, a longitudinal outer peripheral wall located at a lateral outer side of the plug guide part receiving cavity, and a pair of lateral outer peripheral walls located at two longitudinal sides of the plug guide part receiving cavity, and
the socket strengthener comprises a main body part covering a surface of the longitudinal outer peripheral wall, top surface cover parts and lateral outer peripheral wall cover parts extending from the main body part and covering top surfaces and outer side surfaces of the pair of lateral outer peripheral walls, and elastic arm parts curving backwards from free ends of the lateral outer peripheral wall cover parts in a lateral direction and extending from the lateral outer peripheral wall cover parts to sides of the pair of lateral outer peripheral walls adjacent to the plug guide part receiving cavity, and
wherein the top surface cover parts, at an inner side adjacent to the pair of lateral outer peripheral walls, bend downward to form guide parts; and viewed from top to bottom, the guide parts do not overlap with the elastic arm parts, and bottoms of the guide parts are lower than tops of the elastic arm parts.
