A connector comprising:
- a body having a through hole opening forwards;
- a seat disposed on the body, the seat having a passage corresponding with the through hole and a stuck arm protruding in the passage;
- and
- a limiting member being movably accommodated within the passage in a front-rear direction and having a limiting portion and a stuck block;
- wherein the limiting member is movable forwards until the limiting portion protrudes forward beyond the through hole for limiting purposes and the stuck arm engages with the stuck block to secure the limiting member within the passage.
A connector comprising:
- an insulating housing comprising a flat portion with a through hole opening forwards, a mating portion extending forwards from the flat portion and having a mating slot, and a seat extending rearward from the flat portion and having a passage corresponding to the through hole;
- power terminals located in the insulating housing and exposed to the mating slot;
- and
- a limiting member having a limiting portion extending forwards and accommodated within the passage, the limiting member being movable between a locking position protruding beyond the flat portion across the through hole and an un-locking position hidden in the through hole;
- wherein
- the seat has a stuck arm and a positioning arm, and the limiting member has a stuck block and a positioning block;
- the positioning arm engages with the positioning block to prevent the limiting member from detaching from the passage when the limiting member is in the un-locking position;
- and
- the stuck arm smoothly slides forwards over the stuck block for the limiting member to come to the locking position and then presses rearwards against the stuck block.
