A push-pull self-locking connector is a reliable type of connector that operates by using an internal locking mechanism to secure the plug and socket together. Circular push-pull self-locking connectors typically consist of two parts: the plug, which is usually mounted on the equipment, and the socket, which is installed on the connecting cable. To connect, the plug is inserted into the socket and then pushed forward until the internal locking mechanism engages, locking the plug and socket together. This connection method does not require any external accessories such as threads or clips, making it very convenient, quick, and more secure and reliable.

To disconnect, simply press the button on the plug and pull it backward. This button releases the locking mechanism between the plug and socket, allowing them to separate. Since waterproof push-pull self-locking connectors use a thread-free connection method, they are highly suitable for applications that require frequent disassembly and connection, such as military and aerospace, automotive electronics, and medical equipment.
