【detailed description】

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention provides an HDMI connection assembly including a female base 100 and a male connector 200. The female base 100 includes a female terminal block 110, a plurality of terminals 120 embedded in the female terminal block 110, and a housing 130 encased in the female terminal block 110; the housing 130 has opposite first outer faces 132 and second The first outer surface 132 is provided with two first elastic pieces 133, and the second outer surface 136 is provided with two second elastic pieces 137. The first elastic piece 133 has a first engaging portion 134 protruding inwardly. The two elastic pieces have a second engaging portion 138 that is convex toward the inside.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the male connector 200 includes an insulated terminal block 210, a plurality of terminals 220 embedded in the insulated terminal block 210, and a housing 230 encased in the insulated terminal block 210. The housing 230 includes an opposing first The surface 232 and the second surface 236, the first surface 232 has two first holes 234 for engaging with the two first engaging portions 134, and the second surface 236 has two opposite second surfaces 236 outward. The raised elastic outer protrusions 237 are for elastically engaging with the two second engaging portions 238 described above. The elastic outer convex portion 121 has a rounded outer surface. Referring to FIG. 4, the outer casing 230 forms four slits 241 on the second surface 236, and the four slits 241 are divided into two pairs. The elastic outer convex portion 237 is formed between the corresponding two slits 241, and the outer casing portion between the two slits 241 has a bent portion 243. The slit 241 is cut to prevent the second outer surface 236 around the elastic outer convex portion 237 from being deformed when the elastic outer convex portion 237 is pressed. In the embodiment, the second surface 236 has two elastic outer convex portions 237 formed between the slits 241, for a total of four slits. The two elastic outer protrusions 237 are respectively engaged with the second elastic pieces 137 of the second outer surface 136.

Referring to FIG. 5, the outer casing portion between the two slits 241 of the second surface 236 is divided into a plurality of portions by at least one partitioning groove 245. In the embodiment, the two slits 241 have a dividing groove 245 therebetween, and the dividing groove 245 is spanned. Over elastic convex portion 237. The extending direction of the partition groove 245 is substantially the same as the extending direction of the two slits 241, and the length of the partition groove 245 is smaller than the length of the slit 241. And the separation groove 245 is substantially parallel to the two slits 241.
