Abstract
A cable connector comprises a cable-end connector having first pins each including a flat plate and a first and second front engagement strips wherein both strips are extended from plate with a small elevational gap therebetween, and two first slopes each attached between one strip and plate; and an equipment-end connector having second pins each including a first and second front engagement pieces wherein both pieces are extended forward to form a small gap therebetween, two second slopes each attached between one piece and the second pin, and two third slopes each formed on the tip of piece. One strip is abutted on top of one piece, while the other strip is abutted on bottom of the other piece by inserting first pin in second pin wherein pieces are further extended to abut on top and bottom of plate. This causes a compressed elastic force exerted on first pin by second pin and vice versa, resulting in a secured engagement of first and second pins.
