Abstract:
1. A cable connector, comprising: a male connector including a male base and a plurality of male terminals received in the male base, a rear end of the male base defining a resilient arm protruded beyond the back of the male base, a substantial middle of a top of the resilient arm protruding upward to form a locking block, a guiding ramp being formed at a rear end of the locking block and slantwise connecting the back and a top face of the locking block; and a female connector including a female base and a plurality of female terminals, a front face of the female base being concaved rearward to form a receiving chamber, the female terminals being disposed in the female base and further stretching forward in the receiving chamber, a top inner wall of the receiving chamber defining a guiding channel extending along a front-to-rear direction and penetrating through a front end and a rear end of the top inner wall, a locking portion protruding downward in the rear of the guiding channel with a guiding slope being formed at a front thereof in accordance with the guiding ramp of the male connector, wherein when the male connector is engaged with the female connector, the male connector is inserted rearward in the receiving chamber of the female connector to make the male terminals and the female terminals electrically connect with each other, the locking block slides along the guiding channel until the locking block moves across the locking portion to be blocked behind the locking portion by virtue of the cooperation guidance of the guiding ramp and the guiding slope and the resilience of the resilient arm, wherein two sides of the rear end of the male base extend rearward to form two connecting arms, the resilient arm is connected between substantial middles of the connecting arms and spaced from the back of the male base, an opening is opened downward in the rear of the female base and communicated with the receiving chamber and the guiding channel, a supporting platform is accordingly formed under the opening and behind the receiving chamber, when the male connector is engaged with the female connector, the connecting arms of the male base pass through the receiving chamber of the female base to be received in the opening and propped on the supporting platform.
