When the plug connector 210 is inserted into the receiving space 125 of the housing 10, The pin 30 protrudes into the plug connector 210 and is in contact with the contact 212 to electrically connect the plug 200 to the socket 100.

A mating portion 214 is disposed on the plug connector 210 for engaging with the pressing portion 56 to fix the plug 200 to the socket 100. Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the engaging portion 214 is a matching groove that is recessed on the plug connector 210. The number of the mating portions 214 is two, and the two mating portions 214 are disposed on opposite sides of the plug connector 210. Each of the fitting portions 214 is disposed corresponding to one of the pressing portions 56. When the plug connector 210 is received in the receiving space 125 of the housing 10, each of the pressing portions 56 protrudes into the engaging portion 214 to limit the plug 200 relative to the The movement of the socket 100.

Further, each of the engaging portions 214 includes an abutting surface (not shown) corresponding to the first abutting portion 561 and the second abutting portion 563, respectively. The abutting surface is configured to abut the first abutting portion 561 or/and the second abutting portion 563 to elastically deform the pressing portion 56. When the plug 200 is inserted into the socket 100, the abutting surface of the engaging portion 214 abuts against the first abutting portion 561 of the pressing portion 56, so that the pressing portion 56 is elastically deformed. To allow the plug connector 210 to continue moving toward the inside of the socket 100. When the plug 200 is inserted into the socket 100, the pressing portion 56 is deformed and protrudes into the engaging portion 214. When the plug 200 is pulled out from the socket 100, the abutting surface of the engaging portion 214 abuts against the second abutting portion 563 of the pressing portion 56, so that the pressing portion 56 is generated. The elastic deformation and relatively away from the receiving space 125 to allow the plug connector 210 to continue to move toward the outside of the socket 100.

The free end causes the blocking force of the second abutting portion 563 to the pulling movement of the plug 200 to be greater than the blocking force of the first abutting portion 561 for the insertion movement of the plug 200. When the plug 200 needs to be pulled out from the socket 100, the abutting surface of the engaging portion 214 of the plug 200 needs to be abutted on the second abutting portion 563, so that the The pressing portion 56 first forms a bending elastic deformation at the joint of the first abutting portion 561 and the second abutting portion 563, and then connects the first abutting portion 561 and the retaining portion 54. Elastic deformation is generated such that the pressing portion 56 is relatively entirely away from the receiving space 125 to allow the plug connector 210 to continue to move toward the outside of the socket 100. This makes the engagement between the plug 200 and the socket 100 stronger, preventing the plug 200 from being detached from the socket 100 due to vibration.
