1. A thermoconductive structure of a socket connector, the socket connector applied to a plug, the thermoconductive structure comprising:
a waterproof casing,
a socket, accommodated in the waterproof casing, comprising a metal housing, the metal housing comprising an inserting opening and a side opening defined on one side of the inserting opening; and
a thermoconductive plate, movably disposed on the metal housing, one surface of the thermoconductive plate protruding from an inner surface of the metal housing through the side opening, another surface of the thermoconductive plate provided with a soft thermoconductive element, and the soft thermoconductive element disposed between an inner surface of the waterproof casing and the thermoconductive plate;
wherein when the plug is inserted into the metal housing, the plug pushes the thermoconductive plate to make the soft thermoconductive element be compressed by the thermoconductive plate and the waterproof housing.
