A computer plug connector fastening mechanisms comprising two rectangular frames formed in an outer shell of a computer plug connector at two opposite lateral sides. The frames have two clamp holders respectively fastened therein to hold two clamping devices which are inserted therethrough for clamping the computer plug connector to a computer plug socket. The clamp holders each ave two parallel side walls on which a hook portion is formed to engage to elongated grooves on the inner wall surface of the frames. A front portion of the clamp holders includes an inward raised portion, an insertion hole, a through hole, a stopper, and a projected hook. The clamping devices each have a metal clamping plate which has hole near its front and includes an inward and forward extended L-shaped hook plate that includes an oblique hook. When the clamping devices are inserted into the slots of the plug connector shell, the L-shaped hook plates and the oblique hooks pass through the insertion holes and the through holes on the raised portions of the clamp holders, respectively, while the oblique hooks are retained by the stoppers. The front holes engage with the projected hooks of the raised portions of the clamp holders, permitting the computer plug connector to be quickly and firmly connected to a computer socket connector.
