  • Publication number: 20240088591
    Abstract: A conductive terminal assembly includes at least three layers of conductive terminals. Each layer of conductive terminals has a terminal body, one or more elastic arms extending from the terminal body, and a contact end at an end of each elastic arm distal from the terminal body in a first direction. The terminal bodies of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are overlapped with each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The contact ends of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are at least partially staggered and arranged in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The contact ends are capable of electrically contacting a mating component.

  • Publication number: 20240088592
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing defining a slot in which a mating component can be at least partially inserted, a conductive terminal installed in the housing and having a contact end capable of electrically contacting the mating component, and a supporting member elastically supporting the contact end. The supporting member has a cantilever beam and a supporting arm extending from the cantilever beam. The cantilever beam at least partially abuts a first surface of the contact end facing an inner wall of the housing and applies an elastic force to the contact end. The supporting arm is positioned at least partially between the cantilever beam and the inner wall. The supporting arm elastically supports the cantilever beam and the contact end when pressed against the inner wall.

  • Publication number: 20230369816
    Abstract: A connector adapted to electrically connect a first bus bar and a second bus bar includes an insulating housing having a first hole and a slot at an end of the insulating housing, a conductive terminal provided within the insulating housing and in electrical contact with the second bus bar inserted into the slot, and a conductive pin inserted into the first hole and electrically connected with the conductive terminal and the first bus bar. The slot extends in the insulating housing in a first direction and a third direction and receives the second bus bar inserted into the slot. The first hole extends at least partially through the insulating housing in a second direction. The conductive pin is slidable in the first hole relative to the conductive terminal in the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20230061213
    Abstract: A connector comprises a housing defining a terminal accommodating portion a supporting block. The connector further includes a pair of terminal assemblies mounted in the terminal accommodating portion and arranged to be spaced apart from each other. Each terminal assembly of the pair of terminal assemblies has a plate-shaped fixing portion extending in a first direction, and a terminal portion extending from the plate-shaped fixing portion in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each terminal assembly further includes an elastic supporting arm extending from a lower end of the terminal portion adjacent to the plate-shaped fixing portion in a direction inclined to both the first direction and the second direction. The elastic supporting arms of the pair of terminal assemblies abutted against the supporting block.
