Patent number: 10389058Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-drop type HDMI connector male plug. The anti-drop type HDMI connector male plug comprises a shielding housing and an insulating body; and an elastic snap-fit means is arranged in the insulating body. When the anti-drop type HDMI connector male plug is used together with an HDMI connector female socket, after the connector male plug is plugged into the connector female socket, the snap-fit means of the elastic snap-fit means in the connector male plug comes into contact with the inner side wall of the connector female socket to increase a friction force between the male plug and the female socket, thus preventing the male plug from dropping off from the connector female socket and ensuring the reliable transmission of signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Inventor: Haie Wang
