After cooling, the weld will produce different degrees of contraction and internal stress, resulting in various deformations around the weld. In addition, in some mechanical abuse conditions such as vibration and impact, the weld here is prone to disconnection risk. Once disconnected, it will cause the battery pack to lose power, the car to lose power, and even cause the car to be destroyed and people to die.

[0032] Preferably, the soft portion 5 comprises a nickel-plated copper sheet layer 5001;

[0033] A soft copper sheet layer 5002 is arranged on one side of the nickel-plated copper sheet layer 5001. The soft copper sheet layer 5002 inside the soft part 5 arranged inside the connecting piece cooperates with the nickel-plated copper sheet layer 5001, so that the middle part of the entire connecting piece has good ductility, and the connecting piece will not break or fracture during long-term use.

At the same time, the cross-section of the convex strips 10 is semicircular, which can increase the contact area between the top of the soft part 5 and the air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the soft part 5 and avoiding local overheating damage of the connecting piece during the conduction process.

[0035] Preferably, a matching hole 3 is provided on the top outer wall of the connecting portion 1;

[0036] A positioning hole 2 is provided at the top of the matching hole 3 , and the matching hole 3 and the positioning hole 2 have the same center.

At the same time, the cross-section of the convex strips 10 is semicircular, which can increase the contact area between the top of the soft part 5 and the air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the soft part 5 and avoiding local overheating damage of the connection piece during the conductive process.
