Abstract
A connector includes a pair of terminals. Each of the terminals includes a first sub-terminal having a first fixation part and a plurality of first elastic arms extending from the first fixation part, and a second sub-terminal having a second fixation part and a plurality of second elastic arms extending from the second fixation part. The first fixation part of the first sub-terminal is laminated on the second fixation part of the second sub-terminal, and the plurality of first elastic arms and the plurality of second elastic arms are alternately arranged in a row for electrically contacting with a shared bus bar.
Claims17
A connector comprising:
- a pair of terminals, each of the terminals including:
- a first sub-terminal having a first plate-like fixation part and a plurality of first elastic arms extending from the first plate-like fixation part;
- and
- a second sub-terminal having a second plate-like fixation part and a plurality of second elastic arms extending from the second plate-like fixation part, the first plate-like fixation part of the first sub-terminal is laminated on the second plate-like fixation part of the second sub-terminal, and the plurality of first elastic arms and the plurality of second elastic arms are alternately arranged in a row for electrically contacting a bus bar;
- a pair of auxiliary terminals laminated on outer sides of the pair of terminals, respectively, wherein each of the auxiliary terminals has an auxiliary elastic arm arranged to abut against the plurality of first elastic arms and the plurality of second elastic arms of a corresponding one of the terminals;
- an insulation spacer arranged between the pair of terminals and configured for electrically isolating the pair of terminals;
- and
- a pair of conductive blocks, the insulation spacer, the pair of terminals and the pair of auxiliary terminals being clamped between the pair of conductive blocks.
