Abstract
A connector includes a terminal group installed in a base, an inner socket fixed onto the base for passing the terminal group, and a positioning ring including a ring plate sheathed on the inner socket, and elastic plates and hooks connected to the ring plate. The elastic plates are spaced from each other and arranged circularly on the ring plate; the hooks are formed on the elastic plate and configured to be different or partially the same up to an axial distance of the horizontal plane; the outer socket includes an outer circular seat outside the inner socket and connected to an outer circular plate of the outer circular seat; the outer circular plate has notches corresponding to the hooks; the outer circular seat is sheathed on the positioning ring to protrude the hook from the notches. The connector further includes a socket structure for engaging the plug structure.
