Pluggable self locking connector

摘要

A pluggable self locking connector includes a socket having a socket case and a plug having a plug shell and a snap fit portion coupled thereto. The socket case is formed with a depression on the inner wall. The outer wall of the snap fit portion is formed with a deformable resilient rib and a bump. The plug shell is formed with an opening for receiving the resilient rib and a resilient latch corresponding to the bump. The front end of the plug shell has a resilient positioning member. When the socket and plug mate, the resilient rib slides into the depression. When the socket and the plug separate, the resilient rib is confined within the depression and the resilient latch and the bump are engaged. The front end of the snap fit portion presses the resilient positioning member and the resilient positioning member is partially exposed.

1. A pluggable self locking connector comprising:
a socket including a socket case, the socket case including a plastic socket core having a plurality of socket pins in an interior and a depression on an inner wall thereof; and a plug including a plug shell and a snap fit portion slidably coupled to the plug shell, the plug coupled to the socket case and connected thereto, the snap fit portion having a plastic plug core formed with a plurality of plug pins corresponding to the socket pins, an outer wall of the snap fit portion being formed with at least one deformable resilient rib and a bump, the plug shell being formed with an opening for slidably receiving the resilient rib and a resilient latch corresponding to the bump, and a front end of the plug shell having at least one resilient positioning member; wherein when the socket and the plug mate, the resilient rib of the snap fit portion and the depression of the socket case mate, when the socket and the plug separate, the resilient rib is confined by the depression of the socket case and the resilient latch of the plug shell and the bump of the snap fit portion are tightly engaged; and a front end of the snap fit portion presses the resilient positioning member of the plug shell and a portion of the resilient positioning member is exposed outside the plug shell.
