Two-points-and-one-line push-in terminal capable of secure positioning and connector using the same

Abstract

A two-points-and-one-line push-in terminal capable of secure positioning includes a terminal body and a busbar, and can be mounted in a housing to form a connector. The terminal body is formed by stamping and bending an elastic metal plate, has a U-shaped longitudinal cross section, and includes a front upstanding insertion leg, a horizontal joining foot, and a rear upstanding insertion leg. The elastic metal plate can be divided by at least two slits into at least four independent sections, each having a U-shaped slit defining a pressing spring finger and a pressing frame. The busbar can be mounted on the horizontal joining foot. An electric wire can be passed through a corresponding pair of the U-shaped slits so as to abut against the free ends of the corresponding pressing spring fingers and the busbar and be restrained in the corresponding pressing frames, which serves as the two-points-and-one-line positioning mechanism.
