Abstract
A connector equipped with snap latching structure includes a body, a latch member, a sleeve member and a socket. The body has a coupling section for engagement with the socket. The latch member is disposed in a recessed section of the coupling section of the body. The sleeve is disposed in the recessed section of the body to cover the latch member. The latch member has a pair of hook arms engageable with the wedge slots formed at the coupling section of the body. When the coupling section of the body engages with the socket, the hook arms latch with the side stubs located at two sides of the socket for preventing the connector from disengaging from the socket.
