[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0022] Combined Figures 1 to 4 Shown is a foolproof latching Type-C horizontal board-end female connector, including a Type-C female socket 1. The Type-C female socket 1 includes a metal shell 11 and a terminal row 12. A protective housing 2 is provided outside the Type-C female socket 1. A connecting shell 3 is provided outside the protective housing 2. The connecting shell 3 is connected to the protective housing 2 and the Type-C female socket 1 through buckles. A foolproof shell 4 is provided on the side of the connecting shell 3. The foolproof shell 4 is connected to the connecting shell 3 through a buckle.
