A conventional connector shown in
FIG. 1
includes a fixing base
2
having a connecting head
3
, two symmetrical insulating members
4
fitted in the connecting head
3
, and an elastic clasp
5
contained in the two insulating members
4
for catching hold of a cable
1
. Then a guide wire of the cable
1
is inserted through a through hole
6
of one of the insulating member
4
to be caught in the elastic clasp
6
.
However, as the two insulating members
4
are located between the metal connecting head
3
and the elastic clasp
5
, if the cable
1
should receive a surge or a thunderbolt, the surge could not flow to the fixing base
2
to be led to the ground to disappear. Then electric or electronic appliances connected to the conventional connector might be damaged by the surge.
