Abstract
The present disclosure provides a locking electrical connector for electrical connection with an outlet connector. The adapter outlet connector includes a first housing, the locking electrical connector includes a second housing, an actuating assembly, and a locking member. At least one electrical connection point enclosing in the second housing, which can be electrically connected to the outlet connector. The locking member is rotatably fixed to the second housing and capable of being driven by the actuating assembly, so as to rotate relative to the second housing, such that the locking member is frictionally locked with the side surface of the first housing, thereby enabling the locking electrical connector to be electrically locked with the outlet connector. The present disclosure can better prevent the electrical connection from failing and loosening.
