20160190713 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TERMINAL STRUCTURE - An electrical connection terminal structure includes: a main body defining a chamber; a metal leaf spring disposed in the chamber, the metal leaf spring being movable with the motion of a shift member to press a conductive wire into electrical connection or release the conductive wire; and an elastic unit mounted in the chamber. When the metal leaf spring is released from the pressing of the shift member to release the conductive wire from the pressing, the elastic unit normally makes the metal leaf spring and the shift member move toward a position where the conductive wire is released. This improves the shortcoming of the conventional electrical connection terminal that when released, the metal leaf spring is apt to interfere with the conductive wire and make it hard to extract the conductive wire out of the main body. | 06-30-2016 |
