Abstract
A fastener for all-purpose power supplies sockets includes a socket and at least one plug engageable with the socket. The socket has a latch cavity in a lateral wall. The plug has a moveable fastening member that has a first button engaging with a latch bar. The latch bar has a latch head engageable with the latch cavity and a latch tail engageable with a spring strip. The latch head may engage with the latch cavity automatically when the plug is inserted in the socket to form a secure engagement and coupling. Upon moving the first button sideward, the latch head will be disengaged with the latch cavity to enable the plug to move away from the socket easily.
