The third portion 116 of the body 110 has a snap end 117 in the middle. The snap end 117 of the third portion 116 of the body 110 has a protruding block, which can be used to snap other housings (such as the first housing 140). It is worth noting that the pressing portion 111 of the first portion 112 of the main body 110 is used to be pressed, so that the pressing end 113 of the pressing portion 111 contacts the third portion 116 of the main body 110, and drives the buckle end 117 of the third portion 116 of the main body 110 to move closer to the second portion 114. In other words, the pressing portion 111 of the first portion 112 of the main body 110 can be pressed to separate the buckle end 117 of the third portion 116 of the main body 110 from the first shell 140.

[0062] In some embodiments, the elastic contact 120 is located in the second portion 114 of the body 110, and the elastic contact 120 has a first opening O1.

The length direction of the connection section 132 of the plug structure 130 is the first direction D1. The length direction of the first protrusion 134 of the plug structure 130 is the first direction D1. It is worth noting that the terminal 136 of the plug structure 130 is connected to a portion of the first protrusion 134 (e.g., the lower edge) and is bent from the first protrusion 134 to the second direction D2, and the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 on a horizontal plane. In other words, the first protrusion 134 of the plug structure 130 extends along the longitudinal axis, and the terminal 136 of the plug structure 130 is connected to a portion of the first protrusion 134 (e.g., the lower edge) and is bent to the horizontal axis.

[0063] Specifically, the elastic contact 120 of the plug connector 100 can receive the connection end 200 of the socket connector, and the plug structure 130 of the plug connector 100 has a terminal 136, and a portion of the terminal 136 of the plug structure 130 is bent from the first protrusion 134 toward the second direction D2. Advantageously, the terminal 136 bent toward the second direction D2 can contact the cable to stably connect the device connected to the cable. In other words, in addition to firmly connecting the connection end 200 of the socket connector, the terminal 136 of the plug connector 100 can also improve the structural stability between the plug connector 100 and the cable, so that the plug connector 100 can be used as an intermediate connector between the socket connector and the external device.

[0064] In some embodiments, the terminal 136 of the plug structure 130 extends toward the third direction D3 away from the end of the first protrusion 134, and each of the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3 is perpendicular to the other two. In addition, the plug structure 130 has a second protrusion 138 at one end away from the elastic contact member 120, and the length direction of the second protrusion 138 of the plug structure 130 is the first direction D1. The second protrusion 138 of the plug structure 130 has a clamping member 139, and the clamping member 139 connects a part (such as the lower edge) of the second protrusion 138 and bends from the second protrusion 138 to the second direction D2. The first protrusion 134 of the plug structure 130 is located between the elastic contact member 120 and the second protrusion 138, and in the second direction D2, the clamping member 139 of the plug structure 130 is parallel to the terminal 136 of the plug structure 130. In the first direction D1 , the clamping member 139 of the plug structure 130 is aligned with the terminal 136 of the plug structure 130 .

[0065] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 is a side view of a plug connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The first shell 140 of the plug connector 100 covers the second portion 114 of the body 110, and the first shell 140 has a lateral opening 142. The buckle end 117 of the third portion 116 of the body 110 is located in the lateral opening 142 of the first shell 140. It is worth noting that when the pressing portion 111 of the body 110 is pressed so that the buckle end 117 of the third portion 116 approaches the second portion 114 of the body 110, the buckle end 117 of the third portion 116 can be disengaged from the lateral opening 142 of the first shell 140 to release the first shell 140.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first shell 140 has a lateral abutment portion 144 relative to the lateral opening 142, and the lateral abutment portion 144 of the first shell 140 has two abutment ports 145 opposite to each other. In addition, the first shell 140 also has a lateral abutment member 146, the lateral abutment member 146 is located on the lateral abutment portion 144, and the lateral abutment member 146 has a positioning portion 147, and the positioning portion 147 of the lateral abutment member 146 extends into the two abutment ports 145 of the lateral abutment portion 144. When the first shell 140 is not detached from the main body 110, the pressing end 113 of the pressing portion 111 of the main body 110 is adjacent to the first shell 140. The second shell 150 covers the first portion 112 of the main body 110, and the second shell 150 has a second opening O2, and a portion (e.g., the end) of the terminal 136 of the plug structure 130 is exposed from the second opening O2 of the second shell 150, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The first portion 112 of the main body 110 has a plurality of positioning blocks 118 at one end away from the second portion 114, and the second shell 150 has a plurality of third openings O3 relative to the second openings O2, and the positioning blocks 118 of the first portion 112 of the main body 110 are located in the third openings O3 of the second shell 150 to stabilize the structural relationship between the main body 110 and the second shell 150.

[0067] Figure 7 yes Figure 1 7-7 of the plug connector. The second shell 150 of the plug connector 100 has a lateral extension portion 152. The lateral extension portion 152 of the second shell 150 is located between the second shell 150 and the pressing portion 111 of the main body 110. In addition, one end of the lateral extension portion 152 of the second shell 150 has a fourth opening O4. The number of the fourth openings O4 of the lateral extension portion 152 of the second shell 150 is not limited. The first portion 112 of the main body 110 has a snap portion 119. The snap portion 119 of the first portion 112 of the main body 110 is located in the fourth opening O4 of the lateral extension portion 152 of the second shell 150. The number of the fourth openings O4 of the lateral extension portion 152 of the second shell 150 may correspond to the number of the snap portions 119 of the first portion 112 of the main body 110.
