[0040] Further, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the second connector seat 4 is connected with a connecting wire 6, and the clamping arm 5 is connected with the connecting wire 6. The second connector seat 4 can fix a plurality of clamping arms 5 together.

[0041] Further, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, a first connector seat 2 is fixedly connected between the outer surface of the Type-C body 1 and the terminal block 101. Card slots 3 are provided on both sides of the side of the first connector seat 2 away from the second connector seat 4. The first connector seat 2 can fix the Type-C body 1 and the terminal block 101 together, improving the overall stability.

[0042] Embodiment 2 further optimizes the pluggable Type-C connector provided in Embodiment 1. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, a protective shell 7 is provided between the outer surfaces of the first connector seat 2 and the second connector seat 4. The protective shell 7 is fixedly connected with the outer surface of the second connector seat 4, and the protective shell 7 is inserted and connected with the outer surface of the first connector seat 2. The clamping arm 5 and the terminal block 101 can be protected through the protective shell 7.

[0043] Further, as Figure 6 shown, a retaining wall 706 is provided inside the protective shell 7. The retaining wall 706 contacts the side of the first connector seat 2 close to the second connector seat 4. The retaining wall 706 can limit the insertion depth of the first connector seat 2.

[0044] Embodiment 3 further optimizes the pluggable Type-C connector provided in Embodiment 1 or 2. Specifically, two limiting parts are provided on the protective shell 7.
