Abstract
A connector is provided, including a housing, a conductive contact disposed in the housing, a hollow structure disposed in the housing, and an electrical connecting mechanism. The electrical connecting mechanism is movably disposed in the hollow structure, including a first conductive member, a first spring, a second conductive member, and a second spring. The first spring connects the first conductive member with the hollow structure and provides a first spring force such that the first conductive member protrudes from the hollow structure. The second conductive member and the second spring are movably disposed in the first conductive member, wherein the second spring connects to the first and second conductive members and provides a second spring force such that the second conductive member protrudes from the first conductive member. Specifically, the second conductive member and the conductive contact are spaced apart by a distance. When the first conductive member is pushed by an external force and slides to a predetermined position in a first direction with respect to the hollow structure, the first spring is compressed, and the second conductive member moves in the first dire…
