Releasably engaging high definition multimedia interface plug

1. A high definition multimedia interface connector for connecting a high definition multimedia interface cable to a high definition multimedia interface receptacle, the high definition multimedia interface receptacle having an internal passageway defined therein, a surface of the internal passageway having at least one opening, the high definition multimedia interface connector comprising:

a connector body extending along a longitudinal axis, the connector body having an extension, the extension configured for insertion into the internal passageway;

at least one projection extending from an outer surface of the extension;

the projection configured to releasably engage the at least one opening upon insertion of the extension into the internal passageway; and,

at least one spring biased tab partially disposed within the at least one opening, whereby insertion of the extension into the internal passageway causes the projection to bias the at least one spring biased tab away from the longitudinal axis to cause a mechanical friction fit between the at least one projection and the at least one spring biased tab.

2. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 1 , wherein the projection is configured to unbias the at least one spring biased tab upon the application of a retractive force sufficient to remove the extension from the internal passageway.

3. The high definition multimedia connector of claim 2 , wherein the projection has at least one transitional surface.

4. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 2 , wherein the at least one projection is arcuate.

5. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 3 , wherein the at least one projection is convex.

6. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 2 , wherein the at least one projection is radial.

7. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 2 , wherein the at least one projection is ramped.

8. A high definition multimedia interface connector comprising:

a connector body, the connector body extending along a longitudinal axis and having a first end and a second end;

an extension, the extension operatively attached to the second end of the connector body, the extension extending along the longitudinal axis; and,

at least one projection on an outer surface of the extension, the projection extending away from the longitudinal axis of the extension, the projection configured to engage and bias an at least one spring biased tab of a high definition multimedia interface receptacle to cause a mechanical friction fit between the at least one spring biased tab and the projection.

9. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one projection has a transitional surface.

10. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one projection is an arcuate surface.

11. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one projection is convex.

12. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one projection is radial.

13. The high definition multimedia interface connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one projection is ramped.

14. A high definition multimedia interface connector comprising:

a connector body having an extension configured to be inserted into a high definition multimedia interface receptacle having at least one opening on its outer surface;

an at least one spring biased tab partially disposed within the at least one opening; and,

an engaging means associated with the extension, said engaging means configured to engage and bias the at least one spring biased tab to cause a mechanical friction fit between the engaging means and the at least one spring biased tab.
