[0040] First, based on the length of the contact 21, the distance between the two contactor clamping members 32 is adjusted by the adjusting member 31. Then, the two second limiting members 43 are pulled outward simultaneously, so that the part of the line clamping member 41 embedded in the first limiting member 33 moves into the interior of the contactor clamping member 32. Then, the multiple connecting wires 22 at both ends of the contact 21 are respectively embedded into the interior of the two contactor clamping members 32 corresponding to the first limiting member 33, so that the two contactor clamping members 32 clamp the two ends of the contact 21. Then, the two second limiting members 43 are pulled upward, and then the second limiting members 43 are released. Under the action of the first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 44, the second limiting members 43 are clamped on the top of the multiple connecting wires 22, thereby fixing the connecting wires 22.
