Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a terminal, and more particularly to an MSD terminal. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the new energy vehicle and energy storage industries, customers are demanding increasingly larger current-carrying capacity and smaller size for MSD products. How to increase the current-carrying capacity of MSD terminals and reduce the size of MSD products has become a key focus for every company.

[0003] Currently, most MSD products on the market tend to be large and expensive if they have a high current rating; conversely, if they are small, they tend to have a low current rating. Traditional MSD products can no longer meet customers' needs for high current, small size, and low cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned defects and provide an MSD terminal.

[0005] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: this MSD terminal includes terminal one and terminal two, which are stamped out of 1.5mm thick copper plate material and include terminal claw contact area and bottom contact area;

[0006] It also includes stainless steel spring one and stainless steel spring two, which are stamped from 0.6mm thick stainless steel raw material and contain spring clips and rivet nut holes;

[0007] Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are attached together. One side of Terminal 1 is provided with a stainless steel spring sheet 1, and one side of Terminal 2 is provided with a stainless steel spring sheet 2. The arrangement of stainless steel spring sheet 1, Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and stainless steel spring sheet 2 is riveted together by a rivet nut.

[0008] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the bottom contact area of ​​terminal one is provided with a rivet nut hole and a protrusion structure, and the bottom contact area of ​​terminal two is provided with a rivet nut hole and a concave hole that matches the protrusion on the bottom contact area of ​​terminal one.

[0009] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the spring clip on the stainless steel spring is further included in the contact area of ​​the terminal clip on the terminal.

[0010] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the spring clip on the second stainless steel spring is further included and accommodated within the terminal clip contact area on the second terminal.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by combining stamping and riveting processes, this MSD terminal reduces the overall width of the terminal while maintaining low cost, and increases the area and thickness of the terminal contact area, thereby improving the current resistance of the terminal, ensuring that the overall size of the MSD product can be very small, while significantly improving the insertion and removal life, making it highly competitive.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort in accordance with the embodiments of the basic utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1-5As shown, terminals 3 and 4 are manufactured using a stamping process. Terminals 3 and 4 are stamped from 1.5mm thick copper plate material, including terminal claw contact area 6 and bottom contact area 7. Stainless steel spring 2 and stainless steel spring 5 are also manufactured using a stamping process. Stainless steel spring 2 and stainless steel spring 5 are stamped from 0.6mm thick stainless steel material, including spring claw 8 and rivet nut hole. During assembly, terminals 3 and 4 are fitted together. Stainless steel spring 2 is provided on one side of terminal 3, and stainless steel spring 5 is provided on one side of terminal 4. The arrangement of stainless steel spring 2, terminal 3, terminal 4, and stainless steel spring 5 is riveted together by rivet nut 1. The riveting assembly allows terminals 3 and 4 to fit tightly together, thereby improving the current withstand capability of the terminals.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom contact area 7 of terminal 3 is provided with a rivet nut hole and a protrusion 9, and the bottom contact area 7 of terminal 4 is provided with a recess 10 that mates with the protrusion 9 on the bottom contact area 7 of terminal 3. The protrusion 9 and the recess 10 mate to ensure that the bottom contact areas of terminal 3 and terminal 4 can fit tightly together, improving the current withstand capability of the terminals. Figure 3 , 4 As shown.

[0022] Specifically, during assembly, the spring clip 8 on stainless steel spring 2 is accommodated within the terminal clip contact area 6 on terminal 3; similarly, the spring clip 8 on stainless steel spring 5 is accommodated within the terminal clip contact area 6 on terminal 4. The spring clip 8 is designed to limit excessive deformation of the terminal clip contact areas 6 on terminals 3 and 4 during assembly with the copper plate, increasing the contact area between the terminal clip contact areas 6 and the copper plate, thereby improving the current withstand capability of the terminals. Furthermore, the spring clip 8 ensures that terminals 3 and 4 will not deform after repeated insertion and removal, enhancing their resistance to insertion and removal.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
