Abstract:
A cable connector for a mobile phone, comprising:an insulating casing with a coupling surface and a joining surface, a terminal accommodating groove is located in an interior of said coupling surface and said joining surface, said coupling surface includes at least one embedding groove, a plurality of terminals assembled in said terminal accommodating groove, each said terminal comprising a contact part, an interference part, and a joining part, a conductive obstruction unit installed on the insulating casing, said obstruction unit comprising at least one supporting arm corresponding in position to said at least one embedding groove of said insulating casing, said supporting arm extends from an arched opening on said obstruction unit so as to provide flexibility in a vertical plane to said supporting arm, said supporting arm comprises a hook, a check part, and an activating part, said activating part extending upward higher than said check part, said check part contacts said insulating casing when said cable connector is assembled, said obstruction unit further comprising a press plate positioned so as to movably contact said activating part, and an outer casing comprising an assembling surface and a combining surface corresponding to said coupling surface and said joining surface of said insulating casing, an interior of said outer casing comprises an assembling groove to receive said insulating casing, said outer casing further comprises a pressing unit; such that when said cable connector is assembled, said at least one supporting arm of said obstruction unit is received in said at least one embedding groove of said insulating casing, and when said cable connector is inserted into a receiving slot connector unit, said hook of said supporting arm is received in an aperture of the slot connector unit to secure said cable connector in said slot connector unit, and when said pressing unit of said outer casing is depressed, said press plate of said obstruction unit pushes down said activating part of said at least one supporting arm so that said cable connector is easily removed from said slot connector unit and wherein said plurality of terminals comprise a first row of terminals and a second row of terminals, each of said first row of terminals comprising an arched surface, said interference parts of said terminals in said first row extending from said arched surface to form an interference, said joining parts of said terminals in said first row extending horizontally from ends of said interference parts to form a first half of a V channel, and each of said second row of terminals comprising a stepped formation at an end of said interference part to form a second half of said V channel.
