Abstract
A power cord electric connection structure includes a power cord and a terminal socket that are electrically connected in a vertical direction. The power cord has a connecting portion in which the conductive core is bare and exposed outside the insulation layer. The terminal socket has a coupling trough which contains a conductive terminal to form a plane contact with the bare conductive core so that a secure electric connection is established, and wiring management of the power cord and terminal socket is easier.
Claims14
A power cord electric connection structure, comprising:
- a power cord having a conductive core and an insulation layer covering the power core, and at least one connecting portion in which the conductive core is bare and exposed outside the insulation layer;
- and
- at least one terminal socket coupled with the power cord on the connecting portion having a coupling trough corresponding to the power cord, the coupling trough having a conductive terminal to form a plane contact along a length of the bare conductive core, the conductive terminal has a conductive channel and a conductive trough communicating with the conductive channel that forms the plane contact with the conductive core, and the conductive channel has a width smaller than the diameter of the conductive core.
