A wire can be inserted into the end of the opening of the conducting pipe and be squeezed firmly onto the inner sidewall of the conducting pipe to provide electrical conductivity between pairs of wires or cables adjoined via the conducting pipe. However, making a conducting pipe entirely of copper via machining processes becomes expensive.
- For manufacturing costs consideration, the existing structure of the connector for terminal block is improved. Such as the European patent EF

Therefore, the conducting pipe can be made of structurally strong and yet cheap metallic or alloy material, such as iron, and the inner surface of the conducting pipe for wire contacting includes an inner lining brass conduction plate that is capable of saving the more expensive brass material to achieve the characteristic of optimized price-performance. - However, the brass conduction plate and the inner surface of the conducting pipe are stamping-riveted, that is, the conduction plate and the inner surface of the conducting pipe are detached, and are only riveted together in a press-form machining procedure. As a result, the brass conduction plate is not rigidly fastened or securely attached on the inner surface of the conducting pipe and is of low conductive reliability, furthermore, it is hard to practice by the technological process of die punching and needs to spend higher costs. Therefore, the conductive structure of a connector for a terminal block needs to be improved further to resolve the existed problems in the above mentioned patent and to achieve a more optimized performance both in structure and costs.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved connector for a terminal block with a conduction layer on the inner surface of the conducting pipe_ to ensure firmly connection and higher conducting reliability, and the connector for a terminal block is easy to manufacture via machining presses and costs lower.
- For achieving the above stated object, the connector for a terminal block of the present invention comprises:
- an insulated housing, including two radial first screw holes opened through the thickness of the sidewall of the housing; and

- characterized in that a longitudinal conducting copper layer in contact with said inserted wire is embedded on the inner sidewall of said conducting pipe, and the surface of the copper layer becomes a part of the inner surface of the sidewall of said conducting pipe, a bolt is provided to pass through each pair of screw holes comprising a said first screw hole and a corresponding said second screw hole and corresponding wire is squeezed on said conducting copper layer by said bolt.
- In order to enhance the electrical conduction, a longitudinal metal plate is mounted along with the sidewall of said conducting pipe, thus said metal plate forms another conducting route directly for the pair of the adjoined wires inserted into the hole of said conducting pipe, and two third holes are formed on said metal plate, each third hole aligns to corresponding said first screw hole as well as to corresponding said second screw hole, and each end of said metal plate is bended inward into the longitudinal hole of the conducting pipe forming a squeezing foot, and each said squeezing foot squeezes corresponding said wire on said conducting copper layer driven by corresponding said bolt which pass through the aligned said first screw hole, said second screw hole and said third hole. Therefore, the wire pressed between the squeezing foot and the copper layer is fixed indirectly by the end potion of said bolt to protect the exposed conductive ends of said wires as well as to expand the contact area between said wires and said copper layer.
- Considering conveniently fixing the metal plate to the conducting pipe, said conducting pipe is formed by an integrative sheet metal being curled to a D-shape cylindrical body which includes a plat portion where the two ends of the sheet metal comprising a first end portion and a second end portion overlapped one on top of the other, and the first said end portion includes a protruding part, the second end portion includes a corresponding slot receiving said protruding part, furthermore, the middle portion of said metal plate is mounted between said first bended portion and said second bended portion.

Furthermore, a longitudinal metal plate is mounted in the sidewall of said conducting pipe to enhance the electrical conduction and another conducting route is formed by the metal plate directly.
