Patent ID: 8602826

Claim:
An electronic connector comprising: a housing comprising an insertion face and an elongated cavity defined in the insertion face; a deformable assembly movably received in the cavity with the movement and deformation of the deformable assembly being restricted within the confines of the cavity; the deformable assembly comprising: a first plug having a plurality of first terminals; a second plug having a plurality of second terminals; a linking element interconnected between the first plug, and the second plug is flexible and substantially non-extendable; a connecting unit fixed in the cavity, the connecting unit comprising a plurality of crossed wires, the crossed wires including a plurality of first conductive wire portions arranged to spatially correspond to the respective first terminals; and a plurality of second conductive wire portions arranged to spatially correspond to the respective second terminals; wherein the deformable assembly is deformable between a first configuration where the first plug protrudes beyond the second plug and is insertable into a connector socket with a plurality of contact terminals therein, thereby the first terminals are connectable to the respective contact terminals, the second plug is moved inwardly adjacent to a bottom in the cavity, the first terminals are electrically connected with the second terminals, the second terminals are electrically connected with the second conductive wire portions, and a second configuration where the second plug protrudes beyond the first plug and is insertable into a connector socket with a plurality of contact terminals therein, thereby the second terminals are connectable to the respective contact terminals, the first plug is moved inwardly adjacent to the bottom in the cavity, the first terminals are electrically connected with the second terminals, the first terminals are electrically connected with the first conductive wire portions.
