Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of terminals, in particular to a material strip assembly and a wiring terminal assembly. Background Art

[0002] Terminal blocks are connectors and are products used to achieve electrical connections.

[0003] On the market, some terminal blocks include a plastic shell and two metal terminals, and the two terminals are inserted into the two plug-in holes of the shell one by one. In the production process of the terminal blocks, the manufacturer forms a plurality of terminals arranged linearly and sequentially on the metal strip by punching and rounding. However, since more materials are required to form the terminals by punching and rounding, the distance between two adjacent terminals formed by punching and rounding on the same strip is larger and greater than the distance between the two plug-in holes on the shell. Therefore, the shell cannot be directly mounted on the two adjacent terminals through the two plug-in holes thereon, and therefore, the requirements of subsequent automated production design cannot be met.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, in the existing technology, some manufacturers will perform additional bending processes on the terminals on the material strip after stamping and rounding, so as to bring two adjacent terminals closer together to reduce the distance between them. However, the above bending process has the following problems: 1. After the bending process, the connection between the terminal and the material strip becomes smaller, so it is easy for the terminal to fall off during the process of shell assembly, which increases the production defect rate; 2. The additional bending process will reduce the overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
