US 10,374,373 B1 · Connector fixing structure

Abstract

A connector fixing structure having a transmission plug and an adapter plug; wherein the transmission plug is respectively set with a first magnetic element, a guide slot, and a positioning groove; and the adapter plug is respectively set with a signal jack, a second magnetic element, a protruding block, and a resilient piece at the positions of the connection section. The first plug of small size set in the transmission plug can electrically connected with the signal jack. And, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element can be mutually adsorbed, the protruding block can be mutually combined, and the positioning groove can be mutually engaged with the resilient piece. Therefore, the multi-point stable combination between the transmission plug and the adapter plug is achieved. It also enables the first plug to perform the connection ability after the second plug penetrates through the fitting hole of smaller size.
