The pressure applied by the isolation component 9 to the elastic conductive member 5 may be pressing force (i.e. the isolation component 9 presses the elastic conductive member 5) or pressing force (i.e. the isolation component 9 presses one side of the elastic conductive member 5), according to actual requirements.

Referring to fig. 5, when the isolation component 9 of the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 1, the isolation component 9 will press the elastic conductive member 5, and since the elastic conductive member 5 originally has one end (i.e. the electrical connection portion thereof) abutting against one socket pin on one side, that is, the elastic conductive member and the abutted socket pin are in an electrical connection state, the elastic conductive member 5 is deformed by the pressing of the isolation component 9, so that the electrical connection portion of the elastic conductive member 5 does not abut against the original socket pin, that is, the elastic conductive member 5 in this case is not electrically connected to the originally abutted socket pin, thereby achieving the effect of the open circuit connection state between the two socket pins located on both sides of the elastic conductive member 5. Wherein, the isolation component 9 here can be an insulating component; or, the isolation component 9 is made of conductive material, and the isolation component and each plug pin on the two sides of the isolation component are in a non-electrical contact state. Of course, the insulating member is used as the spacer member 9 in the present embodiment.

That is, the elastic conductive member 5 is an integrally formed structure. Of course, as shown in fig. 2 and 5, it is also possible to form the fixing connection surface 12 with a fixing hole 10 for receiving a corresponding socket pin, and to form the fixing surface 13 in a direction corresponding to the direction of the received socket pin. In addition, the fixing surface 13 may be provided as a vertical plane extending substantially in the vertical direction. The worktop 15 may be provided in the form of a structure having a plurality of successive undulating ramps 22. Of course, the elastic conductive member 5 may be integrally molded in a substantially zigzag shape.

In addition, according to actual needs, the electrical connection portion 6 may further include a contact surface 16 abutting against the corresponding socket pin and a tongue piece 17 extending from the contact surface 16 toward the fixing surface 13.

In order to enhance the fixing effect of the elastic conducting element in the socket and further ensure that the elastic conducting element better connects with the socket pin and abuts against another socket pin, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, an insert 18 may be further provided in the socket body 3, the insert 18 has a fixing groove 19, and the fixing surface 13 of the elastic conducting element 5 is limited in the fixing groove 19.
