Abstract

This invention is a cable terminal connector, primarily comprising of a U-shaped contact body at the front end of the connector, with a compressible slot located between its upper and lower faces, forming upper and lower resilient clamping faces above and below the compressible slot. When the cable terminal connector'"'"'s U-shaped contact body is held in place by the cap, the resilient clamping faces on the U-shaped contact body spring back to hold the cap in place, preventing it loosening and increasing the stability of conduction, thereby making it a more effective cable terminal connector.

Claims

1. A cable terminal connector, primarily comprising of a U-shaped contact body at the front of the connector, equipped with a compressible slot between its upper and lower faces, forming upper and lower elastic clamping faces above and below the compressible slot. The elastic effect of the elastic clamping faces on the U-shaped contact body on the front of the terminal and compressible slot mean that when the U-shaped contact body is fixed in position, the cap will spring back under the effect of the U-shaped contact body'"'"'s elastic clamping faces allowing the cap on the cable terminal connector to be screwed in more tightly, thereby achieving the purposes of preventing it from slipping loose and maintaining stability to prevent short-circuits, providing cable terminal connector that gives better results when used.

2. A cable terminal connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thickness of the front ends of the cable terminal connector'"'"'s U-shaped contact body is greater than the thickness of the upper and lower elastic clamping faces of the compressible slot when pressed together, with the result that when the cable terminal connector is subject to pulling or other external force it from will not detach from the post connector because the front section of the U-shaped contact body is far larger than the gap between cap.
