Abstract
A signal connector with elastic clamping plates and to-be-pressed-against posts for ensuring secure connection and watertightness includes a connector socket and a connector plug. The connector socket has a base insulating body provided with: plural base connection terminals, two to-be-pressed-against posts, and a longitudinal conical portion and plural transverse conical portions for dividing the base connection terminals into rows. The connector plug has a head insulating body provided with: plural head connection terminals, two elastic clamping plates, and a longitudinal insertion groove for accommodating the exposed head connection terminals and, when the connector socket and plug are connected, for accommodating the longitudinal and transverse conical portions, too. Each elastic clamping plate can press elastically and tightly against the corresponding to-be-pressed-against post to prevent unintended displacement between the connector socket and plug, and water seeping into the signal connector can be guided out by the longitudinal and transverse conical portions.
