Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic component technology, and in particular relates to a contact terminal. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of industrial products, it is often necessary to install wires on other conductors to complete the electrical connection between the wires and the conductors. Currently, the installation of wires typically involves setting terminals at the ends of the conductors and fixing the wires relative to the conductors using insulating sleeves and elastic clamps to electrically connect the ends of the wires to the terminals. Socket terminals refer to the metal contact parts in a socket used to connect electrical appliances or power plugs. Sockets usually have multiple terminals, including movable sockets and fixed wiring screws or clips. These terminals connect to power lines or other electrical equipment via wires or conductors, enabling the transmission of electrical energy to the plugged device or the extraction of electrical energy from the device. Socket terminals are usually made of conductive materials (such as copper) to ensure good electrical conductivity. Socket terminals are flexible metal pieces that can be inserted into and fixed to the plug pins, while wiring screws or clips are used to fix the wires by tightening or clamping to ensure a fixed electrical connection. In existing technologies, terminals are often fixed in place by screws, resulting in complex assembly procedures during use. Utility Model Content
