Abstract

The present utility model provides an RJ45 plug, comprising a plug body and an insertion tongue structure arranged on the plug body, wherein the insertion tongue structure comprises a connection part and an elastic sheet part, the connection part is connected to the plug body, the elastic sheet part is connected to the connection part, and the elastic sheet part is provided with a V-shaped slope structure that is in lock-catch fit with an RJ45 socket. The present utility model has the following beneficial effects: with the improvement of the insertion tongue structure of the RJ45 plug, the RJ45 plug can be directly pulled out and unlocked without pressing after being inserted into an RJ45 socket, and the improved insertion tongue structure does not need to provide a part for pressing, so that a length of the insertion tongue structure can be shortened, and the risk of breakage is reduced.

Claims (11)

1 . An RJ45 plug for mating with an RJ45 socket, comprising:

a plug body and

an insertion tongue structure arranged on the plug body,

wherein the insertion tongue structure comprises a connection part and an elastic sheet part, the connection part is connected to an insertion end of the plug body, the connection part comprises a vertical portion and a horizontal portion, a head end of the elastic sheet part is connected to an end of the horizontal portion of the connection part, a tail end of the elastic sheet part is provided with a V-shaped slope structure that is in lock-catch fit with the RJ45 socket, the V-shaped slope structure protrudes from bottom to top, the V-shaped slope structure comprises a first inclined plane and a second inclined plane, and when the RJ45 plug is inserted into the RJ45 socket, the second inclined plane abuts against a locking block of the RJ45 socket;
