CONNECTOR

摘要

A connector includes a connector section having electrical terminals disposed on each of a plug and a socket, with electrical signals being transmitted through the electrical terminals when the plug and the socket are connected to each other. A first pair of metallic pieces is disposed on the plug and a second pair of metallic pieces is disposed on the socket. A connecting section electrically connects either the first pair of metallic pieces to one another or the second pair of metallic pieces to one another, and engagement sections disposed on each of the first metallic pieces and each of the second metallic pieces lockingly connect the first metallic pieces to respective ones of the second metallic pieces to lock the plug and socket together. Selected ones of the metalic pieces may be pushed from outside the plug or the socket to release the locked state of the plug and socket.
