[0012] Several wiring locking screws and nuts are provided. The nuts are respectively set in the mounting platform fixing groove in the power supply side cavity. The wiring locking screws pass through the conductive plate connection hole of the wiring terminal and the nuts are in the blind hole of the mounting platform.

[0013] Preferably, a stop for the wiring terminal is protruding from the outer end of the mounting platform inside the power supply side cavity.
