[0003] In order to solve one or more of the above problems, the utility model provides a large-current laminated misaligned slot terminal and a connector applying the same.

[0004] According to one aspect of the utility model, the large-current laminated misaligned slot terminal includes: two outer elastic sheets, two inner elastic sheets, a copper row and a plurality of fasteners;
