Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical, particularly audio male connector comprises an inner insulator member having three contacts mounted therein. A metal shielding shell embraces the insulator member and extends over the contacts to shield against electrical interference. The connections between the contacts and conductors of an audio cable are encapsulated by an outer body moulded around a portion of the shell and the connections. A female connector of similar construction is also described and the male and female connectors are held together on assembly by a latch mechanism comprising a latch member and a biassing spring.
