[0002] The connection between power capacitor unit terminals and between terminals and busbars is made of copper stranded wires. The copper stranded wires are usually directly connected to the copper bar through copper-aluminum terminal blocks, or connected to the copper bar through aluminum terminals and copper-aluminum transition pieces.

[0003] The existing copper-aluminum terminal blocks are connected to wires by crimping. The copper-aluminum terminal blocks are connected to electrical equipment by fasteners such as screws and bolts. However, when the wire is twisted or twisted by external force, the central axis of the wire is offset. During the long-term torsion process, the exposed part of the wire and the fixed part of the copper-aluminum terminal blocks are subjected to external force for a long time, causing metal fatigue and breakage, resulting in poor contact and reduced current capacity. Therefore, the applicant has made a useful design and found a solution to the above problems. The technical solution to be introduced below is produced in this context. Summary of the invention

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
