DEFINITION

Classification: 439/825

Plug having means for resiliently engaging opposed interior surfaces of mating socket connector (e.g.., banana plug):

(under subclass 816) Electrical connector comprising a male connector particularly adapted to be inserted linearly along its longitudinal axis into an elongated hollow or slotted interior of a mating female connector; the male connector further carries an elastic clamping or retaining part which is resiliently urged radially outward from the longitudinal axis of the male connector, so that the lateral interior surfaces of the female connector are resiliently engaged to retain the male connector within its mating female connector.
