In this way, electrons can flow from one device to another through the wires and connectors. In addition, the connector can also be pluggable, which makes it easy to plug and unplug wires between electronic devices, making the use of electronic devices more flexible.

[0003] For example, a socket connector with Chinese patent publication number CN210129629U includes: a first housing; and a plurality of terminal modules installed in the first housing, each terminal module including a plurality of pairs of first signal terminals and a first grounding shield.

[0021] The supporting device 3 includes a second connector 12, a threaded rod 13, a guide rod 14 and a limit rod 15. The threaded rod 13 is rotatably installed at the top center of the second connector 12, the guide rod 14 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the second connector 12, and the limit rod 15 is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod 13. When the threaded rod 13 rotates forward and reversely, it can drive the limit rod 15 to move up and down.

[0022] One end of the support cavity 10 away from the connecting rod 7 is fixedly mounted on the second connector 12 , and the side bracket 5 is slidably inserted into the alignment hole 11 to improve the docking accuracy between the side bracket 5 and the limiting pin 9 .

[0023] A circular hole is formed at the center of the top end of the positioning frame 6 away from the connecting rod 7 to facilitate the insertion of the limiting rod 15 into the interior of the positioning frame 6 .
