Abstract:
A trailer cable connector structure comprising:an insulation casing having a plurality of bores extending in an axial direction and completely through the casing;a plurality of conductive bars respectively fixed inside each of the bores, each of the conductive bars having a first and a second axial ends with a first cavity and a second cavity formed thereon, the first cavity being adapted to engage a corresponding portion of a mating connector and the second cavity having an inside surface on which a circumferential groove having an inclined side is formed; anda plurality of conductive pins respectively received within the second cavity of each of the conductive bars, each of the conductive pins having wire securing means to secure a wire thereto and establish electrical connection with the wire, each of the conductive pins having a radially projecting barb having an inclined surface and being elastically deformable to facilitate insertion respective into the second cavity of the respective conductive bar for establishing a surface contact therebetween and to allow the barb to engage the circumferential groove after the insertion to prevent the conductive pin from disengaging from the conductive bar, the inclined surface of the barb being engaged by the inclined side of the circumferential groove to further provide a surface contact between the conductive pin and the second cavity of the conductive bar.
