Claim:
An electrical connector including a jack having two internal opening, and a plug comprising: a top shell comprising a third opening; a sliding unit comprising a rectangular slide member including a spring biased push top button slidably anchored in the third opening, and an indentation at either side, a front trigger adjacent a forward end of the indentation, and two elongated positioning devices each comprising a front first protrusion at one end, a rear U-shaped positioning member, and an intermediate second protrusion; a shield case comprising a front sheath having two side first openings, an intermediate peripheral flange, two side first slits in a rear; an insulative body including a forward extension including two side flats, a front projected plate, and a plurality of lengthwise T-shaped first apertures arranged in upper and lower rows wherein the extension is fitted in the sheath; a rear U-shaped frame element including two inner recessed portions on both sides, and two rear sidewalls each including a lengthwise U-shaped second slit extended toward the flat wherein each positioning device is inserted through the second slit with the first protrusion passed the second slit and the flat to project from the first opening, and upper and lower grooves; a plurality of conductors tightly inserted into the first apertures; a grounding plate including two hooks extended forward from both sides; upper and lower transverse, flexible holding members each including two end latches and a plurality of second apertures wherein the upper and lower holding members are mounted on a portion between the second protrusions and rear ends of the positioning devices with the latches anchored in the grooves; and a rectangular base including a forward transverse cut with the grounding plate mounted therein, and a plurality of forward pegs fastened in the first apertures with the hooks securely received in the recessed portions and being in contact with the sheath; a metal upper case comprising two lengthwise top second openings; a metal lower case matingly secured to the upper case with the second protrusions projected from the second openings into the indentations; a bottom shell; and a strain relief with an external portion of the conductors passed through and secured to the top and the bottom shells and; wherein: the bottom shell is matingly secured to the top shell for forming the plug; the push button is pushed forward to engage with a front end of the third opening in an inoperative state; and the push button is adapted to push rearward to cause the trigger to push and press down the second protrusions until the first protrusions clear the internal openings of the jack by retracting into the first openings such that a subsequent pulling of the plug will disengage the plug with the jack.
