New description: [New technical field] This creation is a power connector that prevents mis-insertion and its combined structure, especially refers to a structure that is easy to fall off. Its structure is simple and convenient to manufacture, which can effectively reduce production. Cost 'can increase its electrical effect. [Prior Art] - an electronic connection H thin 'generally has a socket and a plug connector, the plug socket is disposed in the -electronic device, the plug connector - miscellaneous m line, the other end is tied The socket is plugged in and the signal or power supply is completed. The traditional electrical connector is used, and the plug connector and the docking base are tightly fixed or tightly matched to achieve effective signal or power transmission; however, since the electronic device is in use, it is often accidentally touched or pulled to the plug connector. The cable, so that the entire electronic device is pulled away from the use of the flat, will cause the electronic device to be miscellaneous and damaged, and even more will hurt the personnel. Therefore, in the design of the connector, an easily detachable structure will slowly Accepted by the consumer, that is, the connection between the socket and the plug connector, in addition to the effective transmission of the signal, it is also necessary to enable it to be effectively detached under improper pulling, and to achieve an easy detachment effect, to avoid The electronic device is pulled and dropped to damage a conventional easy-to-remove connector structure. Please refer to U.S. Patent No. 7,31,526, which is fixed by magnetic adsorption, that is, in the socket and the plug connector. The contact faces are respectively provided with two magnetic poles which are attracted to each other. In general use, the plug connector and the socket are magnetically combined, and when the cable is pulled by an improper external force, the pulling force is not required to be pulled 3 M417696. Underneath, the (four) local servant takes over from the docking station to prevent the electronic device from being pulled down. The above-mentioned easy-to-remove connector adopts the magnetic attraction method, and the manufacturing cost thereof is too high. The cost associated with the electronic farming is high, which is less acceptable to consumers, and relatively less popular. Its shortcomings. Therefore, the industry is thinking hard about how to design - easy to structure, low cost
