Circuit breaker
First Claim
1. A circuit breaker, comprising:
- a cradle having a plurality of cradle terminals; and
a breaker main body connected to the cradle and having a plurality of breaker terminals electrically connected to the plurality of cradle terminals,wherein each of the plurality of breaker terminals comprises;
a terminal body extended from the breaker main body and protruded toward each of the plurality of cradle terminals, contacts coupled to upper and lower portions of the terminal body so as to have an elastic force and disposed in parallel to face each other,a first contact protrusion protruded to a round shape in an upward direction connected to a lower contact fixed to the lower portion of the terminal body, anda second contact protrusion protruded to a round shape in a downward direction connected to an upper contact fixed to the upper portion of the terminal body, in which the first contact protrusion and the second contact protrusion face each other such that, upon connection of the plurality of cradle terminals, the first contact protrusion and the second contact protrusion contact and press both sides of the connected cradle terminals,wherein the lower contact and the upper contact are disposed in parallel to face each other with a wider spacing than a thickness of each of the plurality of cradle terminals, andthe first contact protrusion and the second contact protrusion are protruded with a gap narrower than the thickness of each of the plurality of cradle terminals,wherein the first contact protrusion comprises a plurality of first contact protrusions for each of a plurality of lower contacts,wherein the second contact protrusion comprises a plurality of second contact protrusions for each of a plurality of upper contacts, andthe plurality of first contact protrusions and the plurality of second contact protrusions are disposed close to front end portions of the plurality of lower contacts and the plurality of upper contacts,wherein the cradle and breaker main body are connectable in a transversal arrangement and a longitudinal arrangement, and the contacts are flat, including flat ends interacting with the plurality of cradle terminals.
