Abstract: An electronic device can include an enclosure and a receptacle disposed on the enclosure. The receptacle can form a recess which interlocks or otherwise engages with a plug connector of a cable assembly. The plug connector can include a boot, a central protrusion coupled to the boot, and one or more flanges extending laterally from the central protrusion. The receptacle can include one more detents disposed within the recess. Each of the one or more detents can interlock with a respective flange of the central protrusion. The detents can be biased to extend into the recess by one or more biasing elements. Each of the detents can form an angled surface which interfaces with a respective flange to retain the plug connector within the receptacle.
