[0025] It is worth mentioning that the conductive plate 2 is provided with an extension portion 24, which is connected and fixed to the wiring terminal 11, and a mounting hole 25 is provided at the bottom of the conductive plate 2, which is used in conjunction with the base 4;

[0026] It is worth mentioning that the base 4 is provided with ventilation holes 43, which are arranged at the entrance of the heat dissipation fins 23. The base 4 is provided with positioning holes 44, and the positioning holes 44 are provided with counterbores 45. The positioning holes 44 are provided with screws 5, which are threadedly connected to the mounting holes 25. The heads of the screws 5 are arranged in the counterbores 45.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that the fastening screws 3 are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 26. The screw rods of the fastening screws 3 are successively provided with spring washers 31 and washers 32. The elastic force of the spring washers 31 acts on the copper nose through the washers 32, thereby strengthening the gap between the copper nose and the first fixing part 21 and the second fixing part 22. This not only reduces the contact resistance value, but also enables the first fixing part 21 and the second fixing part 22 to absorb the heat of the copper nose to the greatest extent. At the same time, the elastic force released by the spring washers 31 also increases the friction between the fastening screws 3 and the threaded holes 26, ensuring the stability of their connection.

[0029] Through the above design scheme, the product can achieve the advantages of anti-interference and temperature rise control.
