Abstract

A conductor terminal includes a rubber shell, control pieces, and clamping springs. A connecting section is formed in a height direction of each of the clamping springs. Each connecting section is connected between a highest position and a lowest position of each of the clamping springs. A total length of each connecting section is greater than a distance between the highest position and the lowest position of each of the clamping springs, making each connecting section more extended and disposed within the entire clamping spring. Moreover, the conductor terminal is flattened, which increases the size in the plug-in direction and significantly reduces the overall height, making the wiring connection more efficient and tighter. In this way, the conductor terminal is narrowed, and the conductor terminal product is made lighter and thinner.

Dependent claims

A conductor terminal, comprising:

a rubber shell;
control pieces;
and
clamping springs;
wherein the control pieces are disposed on the rubber shell, and each of the control pieces is switchable between an open position and a closed position;
the clamping springs are disposed in the rubber shell, and a clamping portion of each of the clamping springs opens after a corresponding control piece is switched to the open position from the closed position;
wherein a connecting section is formed in a height direction of each of the clamping springs, and each connecting section is configured to lower a height of the each of the clamping springs;
each connecting section is connected between a highest position and a lowest position of each of the clamping springs;
a total length of each connecting section is greater than a distance between the highest position and the lowest position of each of the clamping springs;
wherein each of the clamping springs comprises a confluence piece and an elastic piece, and each confluence piece and a corresponding elastic piece are connected to form a corresponding clamping portion;
each elastic piece is C-shaped;
an installing shaft is disposed in the rubber shell, and each elastic piece is sleeved on the installing shaft;
an upper end of each elastic piece is capable of extending obliquely to elastically contact an upper end face of the corresponding confluence piece to form the corresponding clamping portion, and a lower end of each elastic piece extends horizontally to assemble and attach to a lower end face of the corresponding confluence piece.
