AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The shrinking size of electrical connectors in electronic devices complicates assembly and increases the risk of structural damage during removal due to improper handling, leading to insufficient structural strength and difficulty in detachment.
Method used
A locking structure for power connectors featuring an insulating base with latching portions and elastic hooks on a plug connector, allowing for stable latching and positioning, and enabling easy detachment with minimal interference force by bending the elastic hooks and retracting engagement parts when the pull tab is pulled.
Benefits of technology
The structure ensures stable latching and minimizes damage by allowing connectors to be removed with minimal force, reducing assembly difficulties and structural stress.

Abstract
This provides a locking mechanism for power connectors that allows the receptacle connector and plug connector to be detached with extremely small interference forces. [Solution] The locking structure of the power connector includes a receptacle connector 1 which includes an insulating base 11 and a plurality of conductive terminals 12, with two latching parts 13 and a frame 131 provided on the insulating base, and a plug connector 2 which includes an insulating body 21 and a plurality of contact terminals 221. The joint 121 of the plurality of conductive terminals forms an electrical connection with the plurality of contact terminals. Positioning parts 22 are provided on both sides of the insulating body, and elastic hooking parts 232 of an elastic hook 23 are provided on the two positioning parts. The elastic hook is located on the ceiling surface of the insulating body and a pull tab 24 is attached to it. Furthermore, the positioning part has a retraction space 222 on the inner wall surface of the insulating body for retracting the suspension ends of the two elastic hooking parts inward when the pull tab is pulled. When the pull tab is not pulled, the two elastic hooking parts are latched and positioned to correspond to the positions of the two latching parts.
