  • Patent number: 9318835
    Abstract: A flip-cover receptor connector, and a RF (radio frequency) plate cable and a cable end connector used in conjunction therewith are provided. A receptor insulator is provided concavely with a placement space. A metal cover may be forced to rotate pivotally until fastening with the receptor insulator, thereby movement of the RF plate cable or the cable end connector in the placement space of the receptor insulator is restricted. As such, the movement of the RF plate cable or the cable end connector may be restricted, such that it is not easy to leave the placement space of the receptor insulator due to external force impact by fastening the metal cover and the receptor insulator even though height of the flip-cover receptor connector is very small.
