[0081] A detailed description and technical content of this application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the attached drawings are only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit this application.

[0082] This application provides a multi-contact terminal structure and its terminal strip. Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a first embodiment of the multi-contact terminal structure 10 and the terminal strip 2 of this application. This multi-contact terminal structure 10 mainly includes a terminal body 1, and the terminal strip 2 includes a conductive metal sheet 21.

[0083] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the terminal body 1 is bent from the terminal strip 2. The terminal strip 2 includes a conductive metal sheet 21. The conductive metal sheet 21 is provided with one or more continuous S-shaped through grooves 22 and divides a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and a plurality of second terminal sections 25 that are alternately arranged through the continuous S-shaped through grooves 22. Among them, the number of the continuous S-shaped through grooves 22 in this embodiment is one, but it is not limited thereto.

[0084] The detailed description is as follows. As Figure 4 shown, the conductive metal sheet 21 has a ring frame section 26 formed around the continuous S-shaped through groove 22. One end of each first terminal section 24 has a first connection end 241 connecting to the ring frame section 26 and the other end has a first free end 242 separated from the ring frame section 26. One end of each second terminal section 25 has a second connection end 251 connecting to the ring frame section 26 and the other end has a second free end 252 separated from the ring frame section 26. Each first free end 242 and each second connection end 251 are adjacent and juxtaposed, and each second free end 252 and each first connection end 241 are adjacent and juxtaposed.

[0085] After that, the conductive metal sheet 21 is subjected to a stamping and bending operation. As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the terminal body 1 of this embodiment bends out a ω-shaped frame 13 via the ring frame section 26. The terminal body 1 bends out a plurality of first terminals 11 via a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and bends out a plurality of second terminals 12 via a plurality of second terminal sections 25, such that the plurality of first terminals 11 are juxtaposed up and down and extend from one of the left and right sides of the ω-shaped frame 13, and the plurality of second terminals 12 are juxtaposed up and down and extend from the other of the left and right sides of the ω-shaped frame 13.

[0086] Among them, there are a plurality of first spacings S1 between the plurality of first terminals 11, there are a plurality of second spacings S2 between the plurality of second terminals 12, the plurality of first terminals 11 and the plurality of second spacings S2 are arranged at intervals relatively, and the plurality of second terminals 12 and the plurality of first spacings S1 are arranged at intervals relatively.

[0087] Also, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, two bending points B are respectively bent on each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12, so that each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12 are first adjacent to each other and then away from each other in the direction of the first free end 242 and the second free end 252, and are arranged in an inverted V shape.

[0088] As Figures 5 to 6 shown, in the usage state of the multi-contact terminal structure 10 of the present application, the terminal body 1 is installed inside the conducting piece 101 of the terminal block 100. When the male terminal 200 is inserted into the terminal block 100, the male terminal 200 will be clamped by a plurality of first terminals 11 and a plurality of second terminals 12 and electrically connected to the conducting piece 101 through the terminal body 1.

[0089] In addition, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the terminal body 1 is bent from a conductive metal sheet 21. By opening a continuous S-shaped through groove 22 in the conductive metal sheet 21, a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and a plurality of second terminal sections 25 arranged alternately can be separated, so that there is no need to punch out redundant cutting grooves on the conductive metal sheet 21 other than the continuous S-shaped through groove 22, avoiding a lot of waste such as copper plate waste in the manufacturing process, so as to achieve the advantages of reducing copper plate waste and effectively reducing the manufacturing cost of the multi-contact terminal structure 10 and the terminal sheet 2 of the present application.

[0090] As Figures 7 to 11 shown, a second embodiment of the multi-contact terminal structure 10 and the terminal sheet 2 of the present application Figures 7 to 11 of the embodiment is substantially the same as Figures 1 to 6 of the embodiment, Figures 7 to 11 of the embodiment is different from Figures 1 to 6 of the embodiment in that the bending shape of the terminal body 1 is different.

[0091] Further explanation is as follows. As Figure 10 shown, the number of the continuous S-shaped through grooves 22 in this embodiment is multiple, but not limited thereto. The conductive metal sheet 21 is further provided with two extension grooves 27 extending from the two ends of the continuous S-shaped through groove 22 and opposite to each other up and down. The conductive metal sheet 21 has an extension section 211 formed between the two extension grooves 27, and each first connection end 241 is integrally connected and formed with the extension section 211.

[0092] After that, stamping and bending operations are performed on the conductive metal sheet 21. As Figures 7 to 9As shown, the terminal body 1 is bent to form an L-shaped frame 14 via the loop frame section 26 and an upright tab 15 disposed on one side of the L-shaped frame 14 via the extension section 211. A plurality of first terminals 11 extend from the end of the upright tab 15 away from the L-shaped frame 14, and a plurality of second terminals 12 extend into the L-shaped frame 14 from the inner edge of one end of the L-shaped frame 14 away from the upright tab 15. That is, the plurality of first terminals 11 extend from the upright tab 15 side by side vertically, and the plurality of second terminals 12 extend from the L-shaped frame 14 side by side vertically. Each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12 are formed by extending in opposite directions. The plurality of first terminals 11 and the plurality of second terminals are arranged at intervals with a relative spacing S2, and the plurality of second terminals 12 and the plurality of first terminals are arranged at intervals with a relative spacing S1.

[0093] Furthermore, as Figure 7 , Figure 9 shown, two bending points B are respectively bent on each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12, so that each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12 are arranged in such a way that a part of them is adjacent to each other and another part is away from each other. Moreover, an L-shaped barb 3 extends from one end of the L-shaped frame 14 away from the upright tab 15, and the L-shaped barb 3 can be engaged with one end of the connection piece 101.

[0094] Thus, since the conductive metal sheet 21 of this embodiment also has a continuous S-shaped through groove 22 opened, a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and a plurality of second terminal sections 25 arranged alternately can be separated, so that there is no need to punch out redundant cutting grooves on the conductive metal sheet 21 other than the continuous S-shaped through groove 22, so as to achieve the same functions and effects as Figures 1 to 6 the embodiment.

[0095] As Figures 12 to 16 shown, a third embodiment of the multi-contact terminal structure 10 and the terminal blank 2 of the present application, Figures 12 to 16 the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6 is substantially the same as Figures 12 to 16 the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6 , and the difference between the embodiment of

[0096] this embodiment and Figure 15 the embodiment of Figures 12 to 14As shown, the terminal body 1 bends a U-shaped frame 16 via the conductive metal sheet 21. The U-shaped frame 16 has a transverse sheet 161 and two straight sheets 162 extending from opposite sides of the transverse sheet 161. One continuous S-shaped through groove 22 is opened from one of the straight sheets 162, and another continuous S-shaped through groove 22 is opened from the other straight sheet 162. Each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12 are formed by extending in opposite directions and are arranged in an interleaved manner. Each first terminal 11 is located in each second spacing S2 and is arranged opposite to each second spacing S2. Each second terminal 12 is located in each first spacing S1 and is arranged opposite to each first spacing S1. Moreover, three bending points B are respectively bent on each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12, so that protruding points protruding from the outer side of the straight sheet 162 and interleaving with each other are respectively formed on the first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12. In addition, two L-shaped barbs 3 extend from both ends of the U-shaped frame 16, and the two L-shaped barbs 3 can be engaged with both ends of the connection piece 101.

[0097] Thereby, since the continuous S-shaped through groove 22 is also opened in the conductive metal sheet 21 of this embodiment, a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and a plurality of second terminal sections 25 arranged in an interleaved manner can be separated, so that there is no need to punch out redundant cutting grooves other than the continuous S-shaped through groove 22 on the conductive metal sheet 21 to achieve the same Figures 1 to 6 functions and effects as the embodiments.

[0098] As Figures 17 to 21 shown, a fourth embodiment of the multi-contact terminal structure 10 and the terminal strip 2 of the present application Figures 17 to 21 is roughly the same as the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6 The difference between the embodiment of Figures 17 to 21 and the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6 is that the bending shape of the terminal body 1 is different.

[0099] Further explanation is as follows. As Figure 20 shown, the number of the continuous S-shaped through grooves 22 in this embodiment is multiple, but it is not limited thereto. Then, stamping and bending operations are performed on the conductive metal sheet 21. As Figures 17 to 19 shown, the terminal body 1 has a flat section 17 formed by the unbent conductive metal sheet 21. A plurality of continuous S-shaped through grooves 22 are opened from the flat section 17 and are arranged side by side on the flat section 17. Each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12 are formed by extending in opposite directions and are arranged in an interleaved manner. Each first terminal 11 is located in each second spacing S2 and is arranged opposite to each second spacing S2. Each second terminal 12 is located in each first spacing S1 and is arranged opposite to the second spacing S2.

[0100] Moreover, two bending points B are respectively bent on each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12, so that a plurality of first terminals 11 form a plurality of protruding points protruding from the flat area 17 on one side of the flat area 17, and a plurality of second terminals 12 form a plurality of protruding points protruding from the flat area 17 on the other side of the flat area 17. Moreover, the terminal body 1 extends with an L-shaped barb 3 at one end of the flat area 17 and an inclined flap 4 at the other end, and can be clamped to one end of the conducting piece 101 through the L-shaped barb 3, and the conducting piece 101 can be abutted through the inclined flap 4. However, the inclined flap 4 can be omitted according to actual situations and is not limited thereto.

[0101] Thus, since the conductive metal sheet 21 of this embodiment also opens a continuous S-shaped through groove 22, a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and a plurality of second terminal sections 25 which are arranged in an interleaved manner can be separated, so that there is no need to punch out redundant cutting grooves other than the continuous S-shaped through groove 22 on the conductive metal sheet 21 to achieve the same Figures 1 to 6 functions and effects as the embodiments.

[0102] As Figures 22 to 26 shown, a fifth embodiment of the multi-contact terminal structure 10 and the terminal blank 2 of the present application Figures 22 to 26 is roughly the same as the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6 and the difference between the embodiment of Figures 22 to 26 and the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6 lies in the different bending shapes of the terminal body 1.

[0103] The details are as follows. As Figure 25 shown, the conductive metal sheet 21 of this embodiment is provided with one or more comb-shaped through grooves 23, and a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and a plurality of second terminal sections 25 which are arranged in an interleaved manner are separated through the comb-shaped through grooves 23. The plurality of first terminal sections 24 and the plurality of second terminal sections 25 are separated by the comb-shaped through grooves 23. One end of each first terminal section 24 has a first connection end 241' connected to the conductive metal sheet 21 and the other end has a first free end 242' separated from the conductive metal sheet 21. One end of each second terminal section 25 has a second connection end 251' connected to the conductive metal sheet 21 and the other end has a second free end 252' separated from the conductive metal sheet 21. Each first connection end 241' and each second connection end 251' are adjacent and juxtaposed, and each first free end 242' and each second free end 252' are adjacent and juxtaposed. Among them, the number of the comb-shaped through grooves 23 is multiple, but it is not limited thereto.

[0104] After that, stamping and bending operations are performed on the conductive metal sheet 21. As Figures 22 to 24As shown, the terminal body 1 has a flat area 17' formed by an unbent conductive metal sheet 21. A plurality of comb-shaped through grooves 23 are opened from the flat area 17' and arranged side by side on the flat area 17'. Each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12 are formed to extend in the same direction and are arranged alternately with each other. Each first terminal 11 is located in each second spacing S2 and is arranged opposite to each second spacing S2. Each second terminal 12 is located in each first spacing S1 and is arranged opposite to each second spacing S2.

[0105] Moreover, two bending points B are respectively bent on each first terminal 11 and each second terminal 12, so that a plurality of first terminals 11 form a plurality of protruding points protruding from the flat area 17' on one side of the flat area 17', and a plurality of second terminals 12 form a plurality of protruding points protruding from the flat area 17' on the other side of the flat area 17'. Also, an L-shaped barb 3 extends from one end of the flat area 17' of the terminal body 1, and can be engaged with one end of the connection piece 101 through the L-shaped barb 3.

[0106] Thus, in this embodiment, by opening the comb-shaped through grooves 23 in the conductive metal sheet 21, a plurality of first terminal sections 24 and a plurality of second terminal sections 25 arranged alternately with each other can be separated, so that there is no need to punch out redundant cutting grooves other than the comb-shaped through grooves 23 on the conductive metal sheet 21 to achieve the same Figures 1 to 6 functions and effects as the embodiment.
