Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulation body, a plurality of insulation wires, and a plurality of terminal-connecting elements. The insulation body has a plurality of receiving slots and a plurality of terminal-inserting openings. The terminal-connecting elements are disposed respectively in the receiving slots. Each of the terminal-connecting elements has a first protrusion and a second protrusion respectively fixing one of the insulation wires. An asymmetric single rib of each of the terminal-connecting elements protrudes toward a direction of one of the terminal-inserting openings. The asymmetric single rib has a projecting point electrically contacted with a corresponding terminal.
Claims8
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a plurality of terminals, the electrical connector comprising:
- an insulation body having a plurality of receiving slots, a plurality of terminal-inserting openings being formed at the receiving slots, the terminal-inserting openings being disposed relative to an inserting direction of the terminals;
- a plurality of insulation wires, an end of each of the insulation wires extending to one of the receiving slots;
- and
- a plurality of terminal-connecting elements respectively disposed in the receiving slots, each of the terminal-connecting elements having a first protrusion and a second protrusion respectively fixing one of the insulation wires, wherein an asymmetric single rib of each of the terminal-connecting elements protrudes toward a direction of one of the terminal-inserting openings, and the asymmetric single rib has a projecting point electrically contacted with one of the terminals corresponding to the projecting point.
A terminal-connecting element for an electrical connector having at least a receiving slot and at least a terminal-inserting opening, the terminal-connecting element comprising:
- a plurality of protrusions located in the at least a receiving slot, each of the protrusions respectively having a groove for holding an insulation wire in the at least a receiving slot;
- and
- an asymmetric single rib connecting the protrusions and protruding toward a direction of the at least a terminal-inserting opening, the asymmetric single rib having a projecting point electrically contacted with a corresponding terminal.
