ABSTRACT:
A guide socket is adapted to be embedded in a first electrical connector for receiving a guide post mounted on a mating second connector to guide the connectors into mating engagement with each other. The guide socket includes a body having an external threading receivingly engaging with an inner-threaded hole defined in the first connector. The guide socket defines a central bore extending through the body for receiving the guide post of the second connector. An inner circumferential groove is formed in the central bore for receiving and retaining a retaining ring therein. The retaining ring has an original inner diameter which is smaller than an outer diameter of the guide post and is resiliently expandable to a larger diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the guide post for allowing the guide post to extend therethrough and securely retain the guide post in the guide socket by means of a spring-back force caused by the resiliency thereof.
