[0032] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0033] As we all know, connectors are used to bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. In related art, the connector housing is equipped with a hook that engages with the cable inside the connector to prevent it from detaching from the connector housing. However, the hook is typically elastic. When the cable is subjected to significant force, the hook deforms elastically, breaking the engagement between the cable and the hook and causing the cable to detach from the connector housing.

[0034] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connector 100, specifically referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification. Figures 1 to 9 shown.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 110 and a buckle 120.

Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the hook 112 is positioned and matched with the cable 200 on the side facing the installation cavity 111. It should be noted that the shape and size of the installation opening 113, as well as the shape and size of the hook 112, can be specifically set according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here. It should be noted that a corresponding structure, such as a slot 250, is provided in the cable 200 to enable the cable 200 to be positioned and matched with the hook 112. It should be noted that the shell 110 includes an integrally formed wiring portion 116 and a plug-in portion 117. The cable 200 is inserted into the installation cavity 111 by the wiring portion 116, and the plug-in portion 117 is used to connect to the socket (not shown in the figure). Among them, the plug-in portion 117 is provided with a snap 1171 connected to the outer peripheral wall of the shell 110. The snap 1171 is elastic. By pressing and releasing the snap 1171, the connector 100 can be detachably connected to the socket.
