[0020] Refer to the accompanying drawings. The utility model provides a stamped socket terminal, wherein a socket 100 is provided at the first end, a spring piece 1 is provided in the socket, and a portion 200 for connecting to a cable is provided at the second end. The socket terminal is composed of a whole metal plate and can be punched out by a stamping device. A crossbeam 2 is provided between the first end and the second end, and the spring piece 1 is connected to the crossbeam 2, that is, the spring piece 1 extends from the portion of the crossbeam facing the first end toward the first end, and extends toward the first end into the socket 100. The spring piece 1, the crossbeam 2, and the plate constituting the socket are all from a piece of metal plate and are formed after being deformed by stamping.

[0021] The crossbeam 2 is formed by stamping the first side and / or the second side of the metal plate. In this embodiment, the side forming the crossbeam is the first side. At the same time, the socket terminal also forms the front and rear positioning and the upper positioning 3 for the crossbeam 2. The front and rear are the plug-in and pull-out directions of the plug 300 that matches the socket terminal. The upper positioning is the placement direction of the spring 1 tilted downward from the crossbeam 2 to prevent the crossbeam 2 from deforming upward. That is, Figure 5 The placement of Figure 5 The upper part of the front is connected to the first end ( Figure 5 left end), the latter is in the direction of the second end ( Figure 5 The front and rear positioning and the upper positioning prevent deformation of the crossbeam, which could lead to incorrect position and posture of the spring clip, from deformation of the crossbeam. Furthermore, the front and rear positioning and the upper positioning are formed from the same metal sheet as the spring clip 1, crossbeam 2, and the sheet forming the socket 100, and are formed by stamping and deformation.

[0022] As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the first side of the metal plate forms the crossbeam 2, and the second side of the metal plate forms the front and rear positioning and the upper positioning.

[0023] The metal plate has vertical plate parts 21 and 22 on the first and second sides of the portion where the crossbeam is set. The first side of the metal plate is bent from the top of the vertical plate part 21 of the first side of the metal plate to the second side to form the crossbeam 2. The metal plate is bent from the top of the second side vertical plate 22 to the first side and pressed on the outer side of the crossbeam 2 to form the upper positioning 3. The front and rear positioning are grooves 4 opened at the top of the second side vertical plate 22; a positioning insertion part 23 cooperating with the groove 4 is provided at the end of the crossbeam 2, and the vertical plate parts 21, 22, the upper positioning 3, and the positioning insertion part cooperating with the groove all belong to the metal plate.

[0024] The metal sheet forms two side vertical plates 51, 52 and a bottom plate and a top plate 54 constituting the socket at the socket position. The metal sheet is provided with side guiding inward flanges 55 at the front ends of both sides of the socket 100; a part of the bottom plate of the socket is lifted upward 53 to cooperate with the spring piece 1, and a punching portion is provided on the front side of the lifting 53. The punching portion 531 is turned outward and serves as a locking structure that cooperates with the sheath for installing the socket terminal. The inclined surfaces 532 on both sides of the punching portion serve as lower guide surfaces.

[0025] The top plate 54 of the jack 100 is a plate bent from the top of the vertical plate on the second side to the first side of the metal plate, and its end is mounted on the upper end of the vertical plate 21 on the first side of the jack.

[0026] According to the solution of the present invention, another advantage is that the spring piece 1 can be made into a double spring piece, which is located on the front side of the crossbeam 2 , which can further improve the connection reliability with the plug 300 .

[0027] The spring piece 1 first tilts downward and then upward to form a V-shape, with its head being an upturned end 12 located within the coverage of the top plate 54 of the jack. The V-shaped bottom 11 in the middle cooperates with the upturned bottom plate (i.e., the lift 53) of the jack, wherein the upturned portion can serve as a guide structure when the plug is inserted.

[0028] The cable connecting portion 200 is a structure in which the second end of the metal plate is bent into a V shape and can be clamped.
