Abstract

A multiple pin cable connector for mating with a receptacle is disclosed, in which the connector has housing defining a turning hollow, and a head, the lower body portion of which is inserted in the hollow of the housing. The head includes an engagement portion for mating with the receptacle. The attachment of the head to the housing enables pivoting of the head in first and second directions. Wires connected to a signal cable and contained in the housing are separated and threaded through openings formed along the central axis to contact the corresponding pins for enabling electrical continuity between the cable and the receptacle. The housing and head are coupled by means a pivotable coupling along a central axis, enabling the respective part to pivot in a limited angle. As a result, the housing can be pivoted to be prone to the backside wall of rear case of a monitor so that the signal cable is positioned in parallel with the backside wall, reducing the necessary space for the cable, and presenting a sleeker, enhanced visual appearance.
