And in the closed state, the latch 23 of the cover 2 cooperates with the block m on the insulating case, thereby ensuring that the shame 2 is reliably held in the closed state. In this embodiment, due to the four The configuration of the terminal assembly 4 is basically the same, so the following mainly describes one of them as an example. The terminal assembly includes a metal housing 3 and first, second, and third elastic terminals 41 assembled on the metal housing 3, 42, 43, the metal casing 3 and the elastic terminal 4, 42, 43 can be formed by stamping and processing. Referring to the fourth figure, the metal casing 3 includes a longitudinally extending bottom plate 31, and the bottom plate 31. The riser 32, which extends vertically upward from the rear end, and the top plate 33 which extends further rearward from the top of the riser 32. The bottom plate 31 has a pair of first side walls 34 extending vertically upward and longitudinally rearwardly on the lateral sides of the front portion, and a pair of second side walls 35 extending longitudinally rearward from the lateral sides of the lower portion of the g plate 32. a first slot 341 is defined in a vertical direction at a top of the first sidewall 34; a second slot 342 is disposed between the rear portion of the first sidewall 34 and the bottom plate 31; and is longitudinally disposed on the second sidewall 35 A third card slot 351 is opened. The first, second, and third card slots 341, 342, and 351 are substantially identical in configuration, and are respectively used to cooperate with the first, second, and third elastic terminals 41, 42, and 43, which will be further described later. Each of the grooves 341, 342, and 351 is narrow at the opening position, but gradually widens toward the bottom. The board 32 extends further obliquely upwardly at the junction with the top plate 33 and is formed with two guiding grooves 322, 323'. The top plate 33 defines an opening 332 at the junction with the vertical plate 32, with respect to the guiding slot and 201012013 opening σ The side will be described in detail later. The bottom plate 3 of the metal casing 3 and the top plate 33 are in contact with the first, second, and third elastic terminals 4, and the first, second, and third contact regions 3, 33, respectively. A friction-enhancing structure is provided to enhance the static force of the contact object and the contact property. In this implementation, the county reinforcement structure is provided in a plurality of trenches in the contact area, and those skilled in the art can also easily think that the structures can also be complex bumps or stripes disposed in the contact area. Or the entire contact area is treated as a matte surface, and the structures can also achieve effects similar to those of the trenches in this embodiment. © As shown in the fourth figure, in the present embodiment, the first, second, and third elastic terminals 4, 42 and 43 are configured to be touched by the m-terminal terminal 41_. The first elastic terminal 41 can be formed by sheet metal forming and further formed. It includes a first-holding portion 4n connected to the metal shell 3, a first joint that is positively bent and extended from the first holding portion 411 to be in contact with the metal casing 3 or the corresponding electrical connecting member and elastically pressed 412, and a first release portion 413 formed by the forward contact and extending from the first contact 4 412 for external force pressing to release the elastic contact pressure of the first contact 邙 412. The forward bending referred to herein refers to the f-curve in the counterclockwise direction, whereas the 'curved in the clockwise direction will be referred to as the inverse buckling. Of course, and vice versa, the clockwise direction is positive and the counterclockwise direction is reverse. Note that the 疋 applied to the first release portion 413 is a positive force (such as F in the fifth and sixth figures), in order to prevent the positive force from being applied too much or too frequently. As a result, the terminal is deformed, and a curved portion 414 is provided between the forward f-curved portion after the '"holding portion 411 and the first contact portion 412, thereby increasing the anti-f strength of the terminal. In addition, the first release 413 also has a reversed fold portion f to facilitate the operator's application of force. The first holding portion 413 vertically protrudes from the pair of lugs 415 at the ends on the lateral sides, and is further provided with a laterally extending-to-wing portion 4!6 near the lug for the metal shell Zhao 3 The corresponding card slot 341 is matched.
