[0021] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this invention in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this invention. The various technical features of this invention can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 3A connector with replaceable terminals 1 includes three terminals 1, a base 2, and a top cover 3. The base 2 is fixedly connected to a circuit for drawing power from the circuit. A snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the lower end of each terminal 1 and the upper end of the base 2, allowing the terminal 1 to be detachably and vertically snapped onto the base 2. The top cover 3 is also detachably snapped onto the upper end of the base 2 to restrain and fix the terminal 1, preventing it from coming off. The number of terminals 1 is at least two, preferably three, and the specific number can be set according to actual conditions.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 3 and the base 2 are connected by retaining rings 32 and buckles 25. Specifically, three buckles 25 are evenly distributed around the four sides of the base 2, and three retaining rings 32 are correspondingly distributed around the four sides of the upper cover 3. The number of retaining rings 32 and the retaining blocks are the same and correspond one-to-one. One retaining ring 32 and one corresponding buckle 25 constitute a pair, so the number of retaining rings 32 and buckles 25 is at least two pairs, and the specific number can be set according to actual needs.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the base 2 is circular, and the terminals 1 are evenly arranged around the center of the upper surface. This ensures that the distance between adjacent terminals 1 remains consistent, and the electrical performance is also relatively consistent.

[0025] Preferably, the base 2 includes a mounting platform 21 and a connecting column 22. The connecting column 22 is integrally fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the mounting platform 21, and the connecting column 22 is provided with threads for threaded connection in a circuit. The threaded connection facilitates the installation and disassembly of the base 2.

[0026] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The snap-fit ​​structure includes a slot 23 formed on the upper surface of the base 2 and a protrusion 11 provided on the lower side of the terminal 1. The lower end of the terminal 1 and the protrusion 11 are inserted into the slot 23 with a transition fit. Through the transition fit, the lower end of the terminal 1 can be firmly fixed in the slot 23.

[0027] To improve the locking effect, the locking structure also includes a protrusion 24 in the slot 23. When the terminal 1 is inserted into the slot 23, the protrusion 24 abuts against the side of the lower end of the terminal 1. Figure 3As shown, there are two protrusions 24 in the slot 23, located on both sides of the slot 23 along its length, while there is one protrusion 11 at the lower end of the terminal 1, located in the middle of the lower side of the terminal 1. After snapping in, the protrusion 11 is positioned between the two protrusions 24. Of course, the number of protrusions 24 in the slot 23 can be set to one, and the number of protrusions 11 at the lower end of the terminal 1 can be set to two, in which case the protrusion 24 will be positioned between the two protrusions 11 after installation. Other numbers of protrusions 11 and protrusions 24 can also be used according to actual needs.

[0028] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper cover 3 has an elongated hole 31 through which the terminal 1 passes. The edge of the elongated hole 31 covers the upper surface of the protrusion 11, and the edge of the elongated hole 31 is used to block the protrusion 11 to prevent it from coming loose from the slot 23.

[0029] To further ensure the anti-loosening effect, a soft pressure plate 4 is provided between the upper cover 3 and the base 2, and the pressure plate 4 extends to the edge of the elongated hole 31 and between the protrusion 11. After the upper cover 3 and the base 2 are engaged, the soft pressure plate 4 is squeezed, and the pressure plate 4 deforms to eliminate tolerance and press the protrusion 11, thus better stabilizing the terminal 1.

[0030] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1 to 3 Each terminal 1 is detachably fitted with an insulating protective sleeve 5. For unused terminals 1, the protective sleeve 5 serves to provide insulation and dust protection. The protective sleeve 5 is made of a plastic component with a certain degree of toughness.

[0031] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each protective sleeve 5 is provided with a locking hole 51 and a flexible connecting wire 52. The end of the connecting wire 52 is provided with a connecting block 53, and the connecting block 53 is detachably connected to the locking hole 51 of the adjacent protective sleeve 5, so that all the protective sleeves 5 can be connected in a string. If only one of them needs to be installed, the connecting wire 52 can be disconnected from the locking hole 51, and the corresponding protective sleeve 5 can be removed.
