Abstract
A self-lock structure of Ethernet connector for vehicle, includes a plug self-lock member and a cable end socket self-lock member. When the plug self-lock member and the cable end socket self-lock member are at a first engagement stage, the fastener is inserted into the outer shell, the outer hanger is engaged with the first groove, the first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the inner hanger are engaged with the second groove, the third groove, and the fourth groove, respectively, and the elastic plate is not in a forced status. When the plug self-lock member and the cable end socket self-lock member are at a second engagement stage, the fastener is further inserted into the outer shell, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion are further engaged, respectively, and the elastic plate is in a forced status, enhancing the fastening stability.
