A cam-type wire connector, comprising:
- a housing, being formed with a plurality of insertion holes along an insertion direction, and an accommodation space is formed inside the housing for communicating with the insertion holes so that a plurality of wires are inserted into the accommodation space along the insertion holes;
- a conductor, being mounted in the accommodation space of the housing and comprising a conductive member forming a plurality of contacts adjacent to each other and a leaf spring pressing the wire against the conductive member, the leaf spring has a carrier plate connected to the conductive member and a wire clamping portion extending from the carrier plate to form a plurality of windows, and a plurality of elastic members is formed with an end of the wire clamping portion that far away from the carrier plate for extending toward the carrier plate;
- a plurality of levers, being movably assembled in the housing and having an operating portion that cooperates with the leaf spring and a holding portion for being hold by a user, the contour of the operating portion is formed as a cam so that the operation portion is capable of swinging with a non-fixed axis, and elastic member is capable of being deformed by the cam;
- wherein the elastic member blocks the window on the insertion direction when the lever is positioned in an initial position, and the elastic member is moved away from the window by the cam when the lever is positioned in an actuate position;
- the operating portion has a push-back edge that moves the elastic member and a touch edge that contacts the conductive member, the push-back edge has a fixed surface that contacts the elastic member in the activation position, the touch edge has a first positioning surface that contacts the conductive member in the initial position, a second positioning surface that contacts the conductive member in the actuate position, and a push-back surface between the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface, when the lever is changed from the initial position to the actuate position, the lever contacts the conductive member and pushes the elastic member at the same time so that the elastic member is far away from the carrier plate for forming an insertion channel that allows the wire to enter the window, and the insertion channel is located in the interval between the second positioning surface and the fixed surface.
