Abstract
An electrical connection module includes an electrical connection member having a receiving cavity and a contact spring arranged therein. The electrical connection member has an outer peripheral wall surrounding the receiving cavity, and a top wall and a bottom opening opposite to the top wall in an axial direction of the receiving cavity. The contact spring is annular in shape and is adapted to be fit as a ring onto a conductive post of a connected object inserted from the bottom opening. The contact spring is adapted to undergo elastic deformation along a radial direction of the receiving cavity to establish radial electrical contact with the inserted conductive post.
