ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an audio plug capable of preventing excessive stress from being applied to a plug by enabling a plug body to be detached from a plug-in portion equipped with a channel plug, thus preventing damage and deterioration of function of the plug or a connecting portion between a cable and the plug. An audio plug1is equipped with a plug body2connected to a cable3leading to a headset, and an adapter20having channel plugs30and31that can be plugged into a jack73, capable of transmitting audio signals from the jack73to the plug body2when attached. Since the adapter20is detachably attached to the plug body2by magnetic force, when a force greater than the magnetic force is applied from the cable3, the plug body2is detached from the adapter20leaving the adapter20plugged into the jack73, thus preventing poor contact or disconnection caused by excessive force applied to a connecting portion5of the cable3.
