Abstract Disclosed is an improved connection device of a computer connector, comprising a clip piece including a metal leaf spring and a press cap fixed to a top of the metal leaf spring, and an insertion socket provided in a clip room formed at one side of an inner shell of said connector; the metal leaf spring of the clip piece having a bottom end formed with two hooks for firmly hooking on a head portion of a connector on the computer; the connection device being characterized by that the insertion socket is formed from a middle portion of a side wall of the inner shell which upward and inward projects toward the connector, forming an insertion plate and an insertion opening over said insertion plate, that a through hole is provided above the insertion opening, and a stop plate is formed between the through hole and the insertion opening, and that the clip piece has an inwardly protruded .left brkt-top.-shaped hooking plate formed at a predetermined position corresponding to the insertion plate, such that when the clip piece is inserted into the insertion socket, the hooking plate thereof extends into and through the through hole and the insertion opening, causing the clip piece to be directly clamped in place between the insertion plate and the stop plate.
A computer connector having a connection device, said connection device comprising: a clip piece including a metal leaf spring and a press cap fixed to a top of the metal leaf spring, and an insertion socket formed at one side of an inner shell of said computer connector; said metal leaf spring of said clip piece having a bottom end formed with two hooks for firmly hooking on a head portion of a mating computer connector; said insertion socket is formed at a middle portion of a side wall of said inner shell, wherein said insertion socket includes an insertion plate extending inwardly from an end of said middle portion of said side wall, a stop plate extending upwardly from said sidewall and defining an insertion opening above said insertion plate and a through hole adjacent to said insertion plate; said clip piece has an inwardly protruding hooking plate at a position corresponding to said insertion plate, such that when said clip piece is inserted into said insertion socket, said hooking plate extends into said through hole and said insertion opening, causing said clip piece to be directly clamped in place between said insertion plate and said stop plate, and wherein said hooking plate includes a detent positioned thereon so that said chip piece is retained firmly in said insertion socket when said clip piece is fully inserted into said insertion socket.
