Abstract
A conductive assembly having a conductive terminal, a conductive ribbon, and a clamp structure is disclosed. The clamp structure includes a base plate and a pair of jaws. The jaws extend respectively from two transverse sides of the base plate and form a V-shape opening being opposite to the base plate. An aperture is formed longitudinally in the center of the base plate, wherein the transverse width of the aperture is wider than the opening. The clamp structure stably and firmly holding the conductive terminal and the conductive ribbon.
Claims3
A conductive assembly, comprising:
- a conductive terminal (25) having a body and an end portion (251) extending perpendicular from the body and formed with at least one bent protrusion portion (252);
- an elongated conductive ribbon (26) having one end bent part covering the end (251) of the conductive terminal (25);
- and
- a clamp structure (100) including:
- a base plate (1) longitudinally formed with an aperture (11) in a center of the base plate (1);
- and
- a pair of jaws (2) extending respectively from two longitudinal sides of the base plate (1), each of the jaws (2) having an end portion (22) extending outwardly to form a V-shape opening (21) with an included angle between the end portions (22), the opening (21) being opposite to the base plate (1), each of the jaws (2) having a flat plate holding portion (23) near the end portion (22) with at least one engaging hole (24) formed in one of the flat plate holding portions (23);
- wherein a transverse width of the aperture (11) is wider than the opening (21) and the end (251) of the conductive terminal (25), and the conductive ribbon (26) being received inside of the clamp structure (100) through the opening (21) with the one end bent part of the conductive ribbon (26) covering the end (251) of the conductive terminal (251) being pulled out from the inside of the clamp structure (100) through the aperture (11), the at least one engaging hole (24) correspondingly allow the at least one bent protrusion portion (252) of the conductive terminal (25) to fit therein, and the flat holding portions (23) stably and firmly holding the end (251) of the conductive terminal (25) and the conductive ribbon (26), whereby a position of the clamp structure (100) and the conductive terminal (25) is fixed.
