Abstract: The present invention provides an electric connector including a male and a female connectors used for being mounted in ends of trunk portions of an artificial tree. The male connector includes a plug tube, and a first electrical connector assembly. The female connector includes a receptacle tube, a second electrical connector assembly and an elastic conductive metal sheet attached to an outside surface of the receptacle tube and having an arch part inserted in the receptacle tube through a fixing hole. A first end of the plug tube includes an external flange. When the first end of the plug tube is inserted in the receptacle tube with the flange being clamped tightly between the receptacle tube and the second support, the first electrical connector assembly is electrically coupled to the second electrical connector assembly, and the trunk portions can also be electrically connected and be grounded.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electric connector including a male and a female connectors used for being mounted in ends of trunk portions of an artificial tree. The male connector includes a plug tube, a first support received in the plug tube, and a first electrical connector assembly mounted on the first support. The female connector includes a receptacle tube, a second support received in the receptacle tube, and a second electrical connector assembly mounted on the second support. A first end of the plug tube includes an external flange. When the first end of the plug tube is inserted in the receptacle tube with the flange being clamped tightly between the receptacle tube and the second support, the first electrical connector assembly is electrically coupled to the second electrical connector assembly. Thus, a stability of the electrical and mechanical connections of the electric connector can be insured.
