Abstract
A connector for a portable or hand-held electronic device is mainly composed of male and female connectors. Two sides of the male connector are disposed with inserting ports caused by an U-shaped metal piece on the outside thereof. A narrow sliding groove, a positioning opening, a flat sliding groove and a flat inserting opening are respectively disposed on two sides of the male connector. A hook piece, an inserting hook piece and a convex retaining piece are on the U-shaped metal piece for allowing the U-shaped metal piece to be tightly assembled to the male connector. The rear of the U-shaped metal piece bends to form two contact footing pieces, and together with another contact footing piece are used for fastening the male connector horizontally or vertically onto the circuit board.
