Abstract

A plug connector includes a main body having a forward plug head for plugging in a corresponding receptacle, and an axial middle slide way having a lowered section formed on a top surface; an elastic plate fixed to a rear end of the main body with two hooks formed at a front free end for engaging with two engaging holes on the receptacle; and a pull member having a forward projected section movably located in the middle slide way below the elastic plate. When the pull member is pulled rearward, a downward protruded front end of the forward projected section slides out of the lowered section onto the middle slide way to raise a middle section of the elastic plate, so that the hooks of the elastic plate disengage from the receptacle, allowing the plug head of the main body to unplug from the receptacle.
