Abstract
A securing member adapted for securely connecting a male connector member and a female connector member of a connector of IEC60320 standard. The securing member includes a main body including an inner wall, an outer wall and an end wall interconnecting the inner and outer walls. The inner, outer and end walls cooperatively define a receiving space adapted for receiving fittingly and separably at least part of an open end portion of a surrounding wall of the male connector member, and abutting respectively and separably against inner, outer and distal surfaces of the open end portion. The main body is adapted to engage an insertion groove of the female connector member fittingly and removably.
