Electrical connector

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing comprising a first portion defining a plurality of passageways, a second portion defining a receiving cavity, a first limiting member projecting into the receiving cavity and a second limiting member projecting into the receiving cavity;
• a plurality of contacts being received in the passageways of the first portion and each having a contacting portion and a tail portion extending from the contacting portion;
• and
• an audio plug being received in the receiving cavity of the second portion and having a mating portion, a first retaining member extending from the mating portion, a rear portion opposite to the mating portion, and a second retaining member;
• wherein when the audio plug is at a first angle, the first retaining member engages with the first limiting member for allowing insertion of the audio plug into the receiving cavity;
• when the audio plug is rotated to a second angle, the first limiting member is restricted and received in the first retaining member and the second retaining member engages with the second limiting member.

An electrical connector comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a through hole;
• a telescopic plug received in the through hole and defining an annular groove thereof;
• first means formed in the through hole and received in the annular groove for allowing the plug to axially pass therethrough at a first angle while said first means being retained in the annular groove after rotation to a second angle;
• and
• second means integrally formed on both said plug and in said through hole for retaining the plug in the through hole in position angularly once said plug is rotated to said second angle.
