Abstract

A connector lock for a computer interface port has a block and a key. The block corresponds to and is mounted removably in the computer interface port to prevent any peripheral device from being inserted into or making an electrical connection with the computer interface port and has two sides, two retaining members and a channel. The retaining members protrude respectively outward from the sides of the block and are resilient. The key is inserted in the channel and turned to remove the block from the computer interface port. When the block is plugged into the computer interface port, the retaining members press tightly against inner sidewalls of the computer interface port. Only the correct key can easily remove the block from the computer interface port so the connector lock prevents malicious or accidental information exchange between a computer and periphery using the computer interface port.
