[0048] In addition, the locking buckle 41 is formed with a sliding groove 410, the locking block 42 is arranged in the sliding groove 410, and the baffle 2 can slide along the sliding groove 410. The base 1 is also formed with a groove 12 corresponding to the locking block 42, the locking buckle 41 is arranged in the groove 12, and the baffle 2 can slide along the groove 12. By arranging the structures capable of limiting the movement direction of the baffle 2, the stability of the movement of the baffle 2 is improved, and damage to the plurality of POGO pins 3 during the movement of the baffle 2 is avoided.

[0049] Optionally, the locking block 42 protrudes on the bottom wall 120 formed with the groove 12, and at the same time, the locking block 42 does not protrude outward of the outer side surface of the locking buckle 41, so that the overall structure is compact.

[0050] Optionally, the locking block 42 is formed with an arc-shaped chamfer 420, so that when assembling, the locking buckle 41 can move along the arc surface of the chamfer 420, so that the baffle 2 is more conveniently installed.

[0051] Optionally, the baffle 2 is formed with at least one guiding column 22, the base 1 is formed with a guiding hole 14 corresponding to the at least one guiding column 22 one by one, the guiding column 22 is arranged in the guiding hole 14, and the guiding column 22 can slide along the side wall formed with the guiding hole 14. It is worth noting that the guiding column 22 and the guiding hole 14 are gap-connected, so as to avoid that the friction is too large to affect the movement of the baffle 2, and at the same time, the movement of the baffle 2 is guided. In addition, in the embodiment, at least one guiding column 22 is formed at both sides of the baffle 2 to improve the stability.

[0052] In use, when the male connector is connected with the female connector, the baffle 2 is pressed by the female connector, and moves to the base 1 under the elastic force of the elastic member 40, so that the first end 31 of the POGO pin 3 is exposed outside the shell through the first hole 20, and can be connected with the socket in the female connector; when not connected, the baffle 2 moves away from the base 1 under the elastic force of the elastic member 40, and stops moving when the locking block 42 abuts against the limiting table 411, and is in a covering state, at this time, the plurality of POGO pins 3 do not exceed the top surface 23 of the baffle 2, and the baffle 2 can avoid the POGO pins 3 from being exposed outside the shell and damaged by external force and other factors.

[0053] When one or more POGO pins 3 in the POGO connector are damaged, the maintenance personnel can first pry the lock catch 41 outward, so that the locking block 42 is disengaged from the abutment with the limiting table 411, and then the baffle 2 is removed from the base 1, then the damaged POGO pin 3 is pulled out and replaced with a new POGO pin 3, and finally the baffle 2 is installed back, so that the maintenance of the POGO connector is completed, and the maintenance cost is reduced.

[0054] The above embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present application.
