One end of the docking portion 1 is connected to the first stop portion 2, and the first stop portion 2 and the wire clamping portion 4 are connected by the bending portion 3. The axis of the docking portion 1 is set at an angle to the axis of the wire clamped by the wire clamping portion 4. The angle between the axis of the docking portion and the axis of the wire clamped by the wire clamping portion is α, and α in this embodiment is equal to 90°. By setting the bending portion 3, the conductive terminal is set into an elbow structure, which can reduce the product matching height without the need for a fold line; and by setting the first stop portion 2, it cooperates with the insulating shell 8 of the electrical connector to achieve the stop of the conductive terminal, thereby improving the installation stability of the conductive terminal.

[0068] The bent portion 3 is integrally or separately connected to a metal member 5. The metal member 5 is provided to improve the current resistance performance of the conductive terminal.

[0069] A side wall of the docking portion 1 has a second stopper 6, which is located below the first stopper 2. The first and second stopper 2, 6, cooperate with the insulating housing 8 of the electrical connector to achieve the upper and lower stop positions of the conductive terminal, further improving the installation stability of the conductive terminal.

One end of the second planar section 34 is connected to the second wing 35, which is connected to the wire clamping section 4. The arrangement of the first wing 31 and the second wing 35 disperses stress, improving the reliability and durability of the electrical connection.

[0072] Example 2:

[0073] like Figures 5 to 16As shown, the electrical connector provided in this embodiment includes a conductive terminal group, a first cable 7, and an insulating shell 8. The electrical connector of this embodiment is a power connector, and the conductive terminal group is a power terminal group. The conductive terminal group is arranged in the insulating shell 8, and the first cable 7 is electrically connected to the conductive terminal group, and the first cable 7 is a power cord. The conductive terminal group includes several conductive terminals of embodiment one. Through the elbow structure setting of the conductive terminal, the wire clamping part 4 of the conductive terminal is directly bent relative to the docking part 1 in the insulating shell 8, and the first cable 7 is directly connected to the wire clamping part 4 in the insulating shell 8. There is no need to bend the first cable 7, which greatly reduces the matching height of the product.

[0074] The interior of the insulating housing 8 of this embodiment has a first stop surface 81 and a second stop surface 82. The second stop surface 82 is located below the first stop surface 81. The lower end of the first stop portion 2 abuts against the first stop surface 81, and the second stop portion 6 is located below the second stop surface 82. The first stop portion 2 cooperates with the first stop surface 81 to prevent the conductive terminal from deviating downward or to limit the distance the conductive terminal can deviate downward. The second stop portion 6 cooperates with the second stop surface 82 to prevent the conductive terminal from deviating upward or to limit the distance the conductive terminal can deviate upward.

[0075] The insulating housing 8 includes a base 83 and a plurality of docking posts 84 protruding downward from the base 83.

The conductive terminals are fixedly mounted in the terminal grooves for limited installation.

[0076] The device further includes a locking member 9, which is inserted into the insulating housing 8 and located above the first stop portion 2. When the second stop portion 6 is damaged or deformed, the locking member 9 is provided to limit the first stop portion 2, thereby preventing the conductive terminal from deflecting upward or limiting the distance the conductive terminal can deflect upward.

[0077] The base 83 has a passage 87 for the locking member 9 to pass through, and the passage 87 is located above the first stop portion 2. When the conductive terminal is installed in the terminal slot, the locking member 9 is inserted into the passage 87 to limit the conductive terminal.

An insulating member 10 is disposed within the base 83, and the insulating member 10 isolates the wire clamping portions 4 and portions of the bending portions 3 distributed vertically. The provision of the insulating member 10 isolates the wire clamping portions 4 and portions of the bending portions 3 of the conductive terminals distributed vertically, preventing short circuits caused by mutual contact.

[0080] Adjacent first terminal receiving slots 85 are separated by partitions 89. Each partition 89 has a mounting slot 810 for mounting an insulating member 10.
