Abstract

A clasper for a signal connector includes a connecting plate and two clasping heads connected to two ends of the connecting plate. Each clasping head has two clasping pieces with their center portions bending and contacting with each other, and a wide mouth formed in their end portion. The wide mouth has a trumpet-shaped recessed mouth in an inside for guiding a guide needle of a male connector to be inserted through therein with only a little resistance given by the mouth. Then the guide needle may lower damage received by the inner galvanized surfaces of the clasping pieces. The two clasping pieces have a round hole formed in a center straight portion and connected to the trumpet recessed mouth for the guide needle guided and sliding in the round hole to completely fit in the round hole for acquiring superior quality for transmitted signals.
