Abstract
An electric connector, includes an insulated housing, a male plug at one end of the housing and a female socket on the opposite end of the housing. The male plug and female socket respectively have an electrode and an electrode slice which is electrically connected with a pair of the male plug and female socket inside the housing. The female socket has an opening adaptive to accommodate the male plug and enable a connection between the electrode of the male plug and that of the female socket. The invention also provides a movable device using the electric connector. According to the invention, a plurality of movable devices with a charging unit can be charged simultaneously and the charging process can be simplified, thereby improving the utilization and safety of the movable devices and lowering the cost of maintenance.
