ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cable connector, and particularly to a cable connector which can fixedly anchor a cable at an angled position.
2. Description of Prior Art
A prior art cable connector is disclosed in Taiwan patent application No. 77210069 as shown in FIG.
4
. In order to fix a cable
3
′ in a connector
1
′ at an angled position, a semicircle metallic retainer
5
′ is used having two opposite apertures
51
′ on both sides thereof for extension of screws
4
′ to clamp the cable
3
′ at the given angled position. A plurality of wires

of cable
3
′ are extended into the connector to connect with terminals (not shown) of the connector
1
′. The conventional connector can fix a cable at the angled position, but the use of the metallic retainer

′ and the screws
51
′ is cost and not convenient. Hence an improved device for anchoring a cable of a cable connector at an angled position is required to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a cable connector that can fixedly anchor an angled cable therein and that is easily produced and low cost.
A cable connector for anchoring an angled cable therein comprises an electrical connector part, a cable and a fixing member. The fixing member has opposite large and small arced portions, opposite upper and lower faces, an aperture defined through the upper and lower faces about the large arced portion for receiving a cable, a locking protrusion formed on the lower face about the small arced portion. The electrical connector includes an over-mold, a shell and a plug. The over-mold has a top wall, a front wall and two sidewalls. A receiving channel defined in the top wall, extending from a middle of the top wall to the front wall for receiving the cable. A recess is defined on a front wall below the receiving channel for receiving the locking protrusion of the fixing member. The shell extends out of the over-mold and the plug extends out of the shell. When assembly, the aperture of the fixing member receives the cable and the fixing member slides along the cable towards the over-mold. The locking protrusion are received in the hole of the over-mold thus anchoring an angled cable in the connector.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
