Abstract
A connector to which a cable provided with a plurality of first terminals is connected is provided. The connector may include a base; a locking member rotatably connected to the base; a first operating member and a second operating member, spaced from the first operating member, each with respective ones of first ends fixed to the base and second ends fixed to the locking member. And first operating member and the second operating member may be configured to, based on being pressed by a front end of the cable, rotate the locking member from an open position to a closed position and to lock the front end of the cable between the base and the locking member.

A connector connected to a cable comprising a plurality of first terminals, the connector comprising:
- a base comprising a plurality of second terminals;
- a locking member comprising a plurality of third terminals and an end rotatably connected to the base;
- a first operating member comprising a first end of the first operating member and a second end of the first operating member, the first end of the first operating member being fixed to the base, and the second end of the first operating member being fixed to the locking member, and
- a second operating member spaced apart from the first operating member and comprising a first end of the second operating member and a second end of the second operating member, the first end of the second operating member being fixed to the base, and the second end of the second operating member being fixed to the locking member,
- wherein the first operating member and the second operating member are configured to, based on being directly pressed on by a front end of the cable, rotate the locking member from an open position to a closed position and to lock the front end of the cable between the base and the locking member.
