ABSTRACT:
A self-retaining HDMI compatible connector comprises an inner plug section and at least one retaining portion resiliently expanded a distance away from the inner plug section and operably movable to be compressed for insertion and/or retraction during mating of the connector with a standard HDMI jack. The expanded retaining portion exerts a force against the jack receptacle and helps to impede removal of the connector once mated with the jack.
