Abstract:
1. A connector, which is adapted to connect with cables and mate with a plug connector, comprising: a first housing including a first insulator and a first shell for shielding the first insulator, the first insulator being flat and rectangular and defining a plurality of passageways therein, an opening being longitudinally defined through a top of the first insulator, latching grooves being respectively defined beside opposite ends of the opening, a slot being longitudinally defined in a lower portion of the first insulator and communicating with the opening, connecting arms respectively extending and bending from opposite sides of the first shell, a plurality of U-shaped anchors being formed between the connecting arms and mounted in the slot for latching the cables; a second housing including a rectangular second insulator accommodated in the opening and a second shell shielding the second insulator, the second insulator forming a plurality of biasing projections longitudinally along a front thereof for pressing the cables, a plurality of engaging holes being defined in the second shell for locking the anchors, assembling arms respectively extending and bending from opposite sides of the second shell for engaging with the latching grooves of the first insulator; and a plurality of conductive terminals received in the passageways, and each conductive terminal having a contact end at a rear end thereof for mating with a plug connector and a pierce end at a front end thereof for piercing an end of a cable to electrically connect with the cable.
