[0027] One end of the pull strap 2 passes through the top of the extension portion 1111 from the outside of the electrical connector 1 along the hollow hole 1112 on the bottom side of the extension portion 1111, and then the end of the pull strap 2 passing through the extension portion 1111 is wound around the opening 133 of the coupling portion 132, and the pulling direction of the pull strap 2 is consistent with the detachment direction of the electrical connector 1 after unlocking.
[0028] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it is a three-dimensional exploded view of the electrical connector and the distribution connector of the utility model. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the electrical connector 1 of the preferred embodiment of the utility model is inserted into a pair of distribution connectors 3 to form an electrical connection, and the pair of distribution connectors 3 can be connectors at the board end or the line end, wherein the pair of distribution connectors 3 have a docking space 30 for the docking portion 112 to be plugged in, and a snap-fit portion 31 is provided on the top of the pair of distribution connectors 3, and the snap-fit portion 31 has an actuating space 310 connected to the docking space 30, and the snap-fit portion 31 located on one side of the actuating space 310 is provided with a through hole 32 in a through shape.
[0029] Please continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown in the figure, there are three-dimensional exploded views of the electrical connector and the mating electrical connector of the present invention and a side cross-sectional schematic diagram when unlocking (I), as shown in the figure, it can be clearly seen that when the preferred embodiment of the present invention is locked, the buckle assembly 13 of the electrical connector 1 is first aligned with the actuating space 310 of the buckle portion 31 of the mating electrical connector 3, and then the docking portion 112 of the electrical connector 1 is aligned and inserted into the docking space 30 of the mating electrical connector 3 to form an electrical connection.

[0035] Therefore, the utility model can have the following advantages when applied in practice:
[0036] 1. The design of the buckle assembly 13 integrally formed on the insulating seat 11 of the utility model can reduce the number of locking components that require a secondary assembly process, and at the same time reduce the need to increase the limit or stop structure due to the elastic displacement of the separate components. The utility model can simplify its structure by suppressing the elasticity of the insulating seat 11 itself, so as to achieve the effect of the insulating seat 11 of the electrical connector 1 being firmly connected to the corresponding mating electrical connector 3 and ensuring the action, thereby reducing the production cost.
