[0002] Currently, many electronic devices use conductive terminals to connect to external devices. When assembling conductive terminals onto electronic devices, they need to be engaged with snap-fit ​​springs. However, most snap-fit ​​springs can only be installed in one direction, causing inconvenience during installation. Furthermore, most current snap-fit ​​springs have an outward-expanding design, which makes them prone to metal fatigue after prolonged contact with conductive terminals, resulting in a shorter lifespan and problems such as poor contact.

That is, the assembly portion 110 and the two inclined surfaces 120 are respectively bent at acute angles. The two elastic pieces 130 are respectively connected to the two inclined surfaces 120 and are parallel to each other.

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1BThe assembly unit 110 further includes a first fixing part 111, a second fixing part 112, and a third fixing part 113, wherein the first fixing part 111, the second fixing part 112, and the third fixing part 113 define an accommodating space 110a. Additionally, the assembly unit 110 includes a first bending part 114, a second bending part 115, a third bending part 116, and a fourth bending part 117. The first bending part 114 connects one end of the first fixing part 111 and one end of the second fixing part 112, and bends from one end of the first fixing part 111 in a fourth direction D4, wherein the fourth direction D4 is perpendicular to the first fixing part 111. That is, the second fixing part 112 is perpendicular to the first fixing part 111. The second bending part 115 connects the other end of the first fixing part 111 and one end of the third fixing part 113, wherein the second bending part 115 bends from the other end of the first fixing part 111 in the fourth direction D4. The third fixing portion 113 is parallel to the second fixing portion 112 and perpendicular to the first fixing portion 111.

[0055] Figure 2A yes Figure 1A A schematic diagram of a snap-fit ​​spring being installed on a socket connector of an electronic device. Figure 2B yes Figure 2A A diagram from another perspective. Figure 3A This is a schematic diagram showing the conductive terminals of an electronic device connected to a snap-fit ​​spring in the first direction. Please also refer to... Figure 1A , Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 3AIn this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring 100 is mounted on the socket connector 200 of the electronic device 10 via the assembly part 110, and the conductive terminals 300 of the electronic device 10 can be connected to the snap-fit ​​spring 100 from multiple directions via two elastic pieces 130. Additionally, these protrusions 118 are adapted to snap the snap-fit ​​spring 100 onto the socket connector 200. Specifically, these protrusions 118 correspond to multiple sockets 210 on the socket connector 200, such that the protrusions 118 engage within these sockets 210, thereby fixing the snap-fit ​​spring 100 onto the socket connector 200. Each of the two elastic pieces 130 also has an extension 133, wherein the extension 133 extends from the elastic piece 130 in the second direction D2 and connects to the second spring chamfer 132. When the snap-fit ​​spring 100 is installed onto the socket connector 200, the extension 133 passes through the groove 220 on the socket connector 200 to limit the deformation of the elastic piece 130 when the conductive terminal 300 is inserted. On the other hand, the extension 133 increases the area of ​​the elastic piece 130, allowing the elastic piece 130 to better hold the conductive terminal 300 when connected.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 1A and Figure 3A Two elastic tabs 130 are used to clamp and fix one of the conductive terminals 300 of the electronic device 10. In this embodiment, the two inclined surfaces 120 of the snap-fit ​​tab 100 form a first guide portion G1. The conductive terminal 300 can be connected to the snap-fit ​​tab 100 via the first guide portion G1 in a first direction D1, wherein the first direction D1 is parallel to and opposite to the fourth direction D4, and the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the two elastic tabs 130. In addition, in this embodiment, the two inclined surfaces 120 are bent in the direction of the accommodating space 110a. That is, the two inclined surfaces 120 are bent inward so that they can clamp the conductive terminal 300 and reduce the elastic tab 130 from metal fatigue and relaxation when connecting the conductive terminal 300.

That is, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring sheet 100 can connect the conductive terminal 300 to the snap-fit ​​spring sheet 100 via three guide portions through one of three directions. In another embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring sheet 100 may also have only two inclined surfaces 120 and two first elastic sheet inclined surfaces 131, so that the conductive terminal 300 can be connected to the snap-fit ​​spring sheet 100 via a first direction D1 or a second direction D2. In another embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring 100 may have only two inclined surfaces 120 and two second inclined surfaces 132, allowing the conductive terminal 300 to connect to the snap-fit ​​spring 100 via a first direction D1 or a third direction D3.
