Abstract
A plug-type connector includes a connector main body having a forward extended front end to provide a plug portion, and being provided on a top surface with an open-topped recess; a push unit including two corresponding sideward-push plates pivotally assembled to the connector main body to locate in the recess; and a pinch unit being assembled to the connector main body to bear against an upper side of the push unit. The plug portion and the pinch unit cooperatively enable the connector main body to firmly connect to a corresponding receptacle, and the sideward-push plates of the push unit can be caused to separately push leftward and rightward to raise the pinch unit and thereby allow disconnection of the connector main body from the receptacle. Therefore, the plug-type connector has simplified structure, and can be firmly connected to a receptacle and easily disconnected therefrom.
