[0017] And, the energy automobile direct current charging socket split slot structure stamping terminal provided by the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0018] Improve production efficiency and reduce processing cost:

[0019] The existing terminal is machined from a bar, which has low production efficiency and high processing cost. The stamping terminal of the utility model adopts a stamping process, which can significantly improve the production efficiency and reduce the processing cost, because the stamping process is usually faster and less costly than machining.

[0020] Reduce material usage and reduce material cost:

[0021] The existing terminal has a complex structure and is heavy, resulting in high material cost. The stamping terminal of the utility model reduces the material usage through optimized design, thereby effectively reducing the material cost.

[0022] Lower plating cost:

[0023] The existing machining terminal adopts single terminal hanging plating mode for electroplating, and the silver plating area is large and the cost is high. The stamping terminal of the utility model can adopt continuous plating process, and only the inner side of the terminal contact spring is plated with silver (to improve conductivity), and the outer side is plated with tin (to improve corrosion resistance), thereby greatly reducing the electroplating cost.

[0027] The existing terminal generally has only one lock, and it is easy to encounter difficulties during assembly. The stamping terminal of the utility model solves the assembly difficulty problem by increasing the limiting structure design, improves the assembly efficiency and reliability.

[0028] Reduce the contact resistance, improve the current carrying capacity and safety:

[0029] The existing spring structure machining terminal has high contact resistance and poor current carrying capacity, which is easy to cause temperature rise failure. The stamping terminal of the utility model optimizes the design of the contact spring, reduces the contact resistance, thereby improves the current carrying capacity and safety, and reduces the risk of product temperature rise.

[0039] As an implementation form, the base body 1 is further formed with cable crimping wings 1.3 along the cable crimping groove 1.2 on both sides of the slot opening, which is used to further enhance the crimping stability and connection reliability of the cable.

[0040] As an implementation form, the elastic sheet 1.1 is contracted into a horn shape along the head towards the axis, which facilitates good electrical contact with the pin; the sleeve 2 is further formed with a curled edge 2.2 for limiting the head of the elastic sheet 1.1, which is used to limit the head of the elastic sheet 1.1 and ensure that the elastic sheet will not be deformed or fall off when stressed.

[0041] As an implementation form, the base body 1 is reserved with a limiting hole 1.4, and the sleeve 2 is formed with a limiting buckle 2.3 adapted to the limiting hole 1.4.
