Abstract

A conductive component structure for wire connection terminal has higher electro-conductive performance and is more securely assembled with the conductive wire. The conductive component includes a main body in the form of a plate body and a restriction body connected on the main body. The restriction body has a base section, a bow section connected with the base section and a free section connected with the bow section, which together provide elastic effect for the restriction body. When the conductive wire is plugged in to contact the conductive component, the restriction body guides the conductive wire and the rear end of the conductive wire is securely pressed and restricted between the main body and the restriction body.

First claim

What is claimed is:
