The female terminal wire part comprises a welding surface 2011 and a plugging surface 2012, wherein the welding surface 2011 is exposed on the end surface of the female terminal wire seat, and the plugging surface 2012 is inserted in the female terminal wire seat. The female end connection portion 202 is a straight flat plate.
Since the female terminal fitting 2 is of a wire-bonding type structure, the female terminal fitting 2 is suitable for automated production using SMT equipment. In order to facilitate automated production of the SMT device, in this embodiment, the end surface of the female terminal socket 21 provided with the welding surface 2011 is provided with a plurality of protruding positioning posts 213, and the outsole is provided with protruding positioning ribs 214 along the length direction.

Since the incoming line and the outgoing line commonly have two-phase incoming line and three-phase incoming line or outgoing line, correspondingly, the male terminal connector 1 comprises a plurality of plug pins 12 which are transversely arranged, for example, two plug pins 12 or three plug pins 12, the male terminal connector 11 corresponds to the male terminal spring plate 10, namely, corresponds to the plug pins 12, and the mutually separated male terminal wire slots 111 are arranged. In this embodiment, two phase incoming and outgoing lines are taken as an example, that is, the male terminal connector 1 is provided with two plug pins 12 and two male terminal trunking 111.
In order to facilitate rapid assembly and prevent short circuit caused by reverse connection, a foolproof mechanism is arranged between the socket 22 and the plug pin 12 to ensure that the socket 22 and the plug pin 12 are only allowed to be plugged in one direction. In this embodiment, the fool-proof mechanism includes fool-proof ribs 221 protruding inwards on the inner wall of the socket 22, and fool-proof grooves 122 corresponding to the fool-proof ribs 221 on the socket pins 12.

The number and the positions of the fool-proof grooves 122 and the fool-proof ribs 221 on the top surface and the bottom surface are different, so that the plugging can be performed only in the correct direction, otherwise, the plugging can not be performed due to blocking caused by the uncomfortableness of the fool-proof grooves 122 and the fool-proof ribs 221.
Further, the fool-proof mechanism further comprises round chamfers 222 at two sides of the bottom surface of the socket 22, and a yielding groove 123 corresponding to the round chamfers 222 at two sides of the bottom surface of the socket pin 12. Correspondingly, in order to smoothly plug, the round chamfer 222 corresponding to the two sides of the bottom surface of the plug pin 12 is provided with a yielding groove 123, so that the plug pin 12 integrally forms a similar section of a D shape to be matched with the foolproof structure of the plug seat 22.
Corresponding to the fool-proof mechanism, the plug pin 12 is provided with a 'convex' channel 121 along the length direction for accommodating the male end connection part 102, wherein the narrow end of the 'convex' channel 121 faces the bottom surface of the plug pin 12, and the wide end of the 'convex' channel 121 faces the top surface of the plug pin 12. And, the wide end of the "convex" channel 121 is provided with a foolproof slot 122, and the width of the wide end of the "convex" channel 121 can be adapted to the width setting of the male end connection portion 102.

In order to limit the male terminal spring plate 10, a male end "convex" groove 1111 is provided in the male terminal slot 111 along the length direction, as shown in fig. 6, a sinking step 112 is formed between the male end "convex" groove 1111 and the plug pin 12, in this embodiment, the "convex" channel 121 of the plug pin 12 and the male terminal slot 111 are staggered in height, and thus the step 112 is formed. As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the male end connection portion 102 extends toward two sides from one end of the male end connection portion 101 to form male end limiting wings 1023, protruding male end elastic buckles 1022 are provided toward the bottom surface, and the male end limiting wings 1023 and the male end elastic buckles 1022 are disposed in the male end protruding grooves 1111 corresponding to the outline of the male end protruding grooves 1111. In this embodiment, the male "convex" type slot 1111 is surrounded by ribs extending laterally from the inner walls of the two sides of the male terminal slot 111 and a groove on the bottom surface. During assembly, the male end limiting wing 1023 is located in the wide end of the male end 'convex' groove 1111 to form upper and lower limiting, and the narrow end of the male end 'convex' groove 1111 is used for forming a certain space for the male end elastic buckle 1022 to give way, so that the male terminal elastic sheet 10 can smoothly and easily slide and be installed into the male end 'convex' groove 1111. During the assembly process, when the male end elastic buckle 1022 passes over the step 112 and then elastically returns, i.e. expands to a natural state, the male end elastic buckle forms a reverse limit with the step 112, so as to prevent the male terminal elastic sheet 10 from being separated along the reverse direction of sliding loading.
Similar to the principle of the male terminal connector 1, the female terminal wire holder 21 corresponds to the female terminal spring plate 20, and is provided with a female terminal wire slot 211 which is separated from each other, the female terminal wire slot 211 is communicated with the socket 22, and the female terminal spring plate 20 is inserted from the female terminal wire slot 211 and penetrates into the socket 22. To separate the female terminal spring pieces 20, the fool-proof ribs 221 corresponding to the positions of the fool-proof grooves 122 between the adjacent plug pins 12 extend inward by a length greater than the fool-proof ribs 221 corresponding to the fool-proof grooves 122 of the plug pins 12. And further, the fool-proof function is realized, and the method can also be used for isolating the adjacent female terminal spring pieces 20. In this embodiment, two positioning posts 213 are disposed on the end surfaces of the partition wall between the bus-termination slots 211, and positioning ribs 214 are disposed on the bottom surface of the bus-termination seat 21 along the partition wall corresponding to the partition wall.
In order to limit the female terminal spring piece 20, a female end 'convex' slot 2111 is formed in the female terminal slot 211 along the length direction, a sinking clamping table 212 is formed at one end of the female end 'convex' slot 2111 facing the socket 22 as shown in fig. 6, a female end limiting wing 2022 is extended from one end of the female end connecting portion 202 facing the female terminal wire portion 201 towards two sides as shown in fig. 11 and 12, a raised female end elastic buckle 2021 is formed towards the bottom surface, and the female end limiting wing 2022 and the female end elastic buckle 2021 are arranged in the female end 'convex' slot 2111 corresponding to the contour of the female end 'convex' slot 2111. In this embodiment, the female-end "male" slot 2111 has the same structure as the male-end "male" slot 1111, and the principle and function are the same, and the installation process of the female-terminal spring plate 20 is the same. During assembly, the female end elastic buckle 2021 passes over the clamping table 212 and then elastically resets to be unfolded to a natural state, and forms reverse limit with the clamping table 212.
As shown in fig. 7, the male terminal socket 11 and the plug pin 12 form a fault offset in the height direction, and in this embodiment, since the male terminal socket 11 and the plug pin 12 form a fault offset in the height direction, the male terminal wire slot 111 and the "convex" type channel 121 also form a fault offset in the height direction. The outer contour of the male terminal wire slot 111 extends toward the plug pin 12, a male terminal wire blind hole 1112 is formed in the male terminal wire slot 111 for plugging a wire, and the male terminal wire portion 101 is bent toward the male terminal wire blind hole 1112 for contact communication with the wire. The male terminal wire connecting part 101 and the male terminal connecting part 102 are bent to form an acute angle, namely, the tail end of the male terminal wire connecting part 101 faces the male terminal wire blind hole 1112, when a wire is inserted, the male terminal wire connecting part 101 forms an inclined plane, so that the wire is easy to insert, and the wire is pulled out from the opposite direction to form a propping force, so that the connection strength of the wire is ensured, and screw-free installation is realized.
Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 1, the outer contour of the male terminal wire holder 11 faces the forming limit block 113 of the female terminal connector 2, and when the male terminal wire holder is inserted in place, the end face of the inserting seat 22 abuts against the limit block 113. In order to ensure the connection strength of the male terminal connector 1 and the female terminal connector 2, two sides of the male terminal connector 1 are provided with raised compression blocks 13, and the plug pins 12 are in interference fit with the plug sockets 22 through the compression blocks 13.
As shown in fig. 10, the female terminal holder 21 and the socket 22 are also staggered in height, and unlike the male terminal fitting 1, a blind hole for plugging a wire is no longer required to be provided in the female terminal groove 211 of the female terminal fitting 2. The bus bar slot 211 ensures that the mating face 2012 of the bus bar portion 201 can be bent back into the slot. In this embodiment, the welding surface 2011 of the female terminal connection portion 201 is substantially perpendicular to the female terminal connection portion 202, and the plugging surface 2012 is substantially perpendicular to the welding surface 2011, i.e. the female terminal connection portion 202, the welding surface 2011 and the plugging surface 2012 enclose a "冂" structure. The soldering surface 2011 is used for soldering with a wire.
