Abstract
A high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) plug includes a plug body section including a rigid outer shell that includes a roof section, a floor section, and a front-facing side. A male HDMI connector shell is secured to the rigid outer shell. A retention clamp is disposed within the plug body section and the male HDMI connector shell. The retention clamp includes an anchor, a flexing arm, and a tooth disposed at an end of the flexing arm. The anchor is vertically stabilized by a first interior liner that physically couples an upward-facing surface of the anchor to the roof section, and a second interior liner that physically couples a downward-facing surface of the anchor to the floor section.
