Claim:
A high definition multimedia interface connector for connecting a high definition multimedia interface cable to a high definition multimedia interface receptacle, the high definition multimedia interface receptacle having an internal passageway defined therein, a surface of the internal passageway having at least one opening, the high definition multimedia interface connector comprising: a connector body extending along a longitudinal axis, the connector body having an extension, the extension configured for insertion into the internal passageway; at least one projection extending from an outer surface of the extension; the projection configured to releasably engage the at least one opening upon insertion of the extension into the internal passageway; and, at least one spring biased tab partially disposed within the at least one opening, whereby insertion of the extension into the internal passageway causes the projection to bias the at least one spring biased tab away from the longitudinal axis to cause a mechanical friction fit between the at least one projection and the at least one spring biased tab.
