Description

Press-type conductive terminal assembly

A conductive terminal assembly, particularly a push-button conductive terminal assembly, for improving assembly efficiency and electrical connection stability.

The basic connection structure of a typical controller requires electrical connection to a physical conductive terminal to achieve its driving purpose. Commercially available conductive terminals are primarily ring-shaped and flat. The connection is achieved by aligning the through-hole of the ring-shaped conductive terminal with the locking hole on the controller, and then using a screw to pass through the through-hole of the conductive terminal and engage with the locking hole on the controller. With the rapid development of information technology, controllers must manage more signals, leading to a dramatic increase in the number of conductive terminals that need to be connected. Therefore, the assembly efficiency and electrical connection stability of conductive terminals have become increasingly important.

Conventional push-button conductive terminal assemblies have emerged as a solution. These assemblies secure the wire terminals through a pressing action, allowing for a plug-in fastening process. However, conventional push-button terminal assemblies have a large number of parts and do not consider assembly or maintenance efficiency, indirectly increasing manufacturing costs. This makes them unsuitable for today's highly competitive environment. Furthermore, conventional push-button terminal assemblies are primarily integrated with controllers using dual in-line packages (DIPs). However, in actual field installations, many situations arise where conventional push-button terminal assemblies cannot be adapted to accommodate insufficient wire length or design changes during assembly. Even worse, when the controller specifies a waterproof and dustproof rating, the prior art, because it is fixed to the conductive substrate using DIP technology, cannot be disassembled and reassembled into components that meet the specifications. Prior art has low flexibility in on-site construction.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a push-button conductive terminal assembly to address the shortcomings of current technology.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a push-button conductive terminal assembly that can be assembled using conductive posts, post covers, elastic elements, wires, and a conductive substrate. Compared to conventional technologies, it requires fewer parts, improving assembly efficiency and yield. The compression and repositioning characteristics of the elastic element, achieved through the application and release of pressure on the post cover, significantly enhance the efficiency of wire assembly and disassembly.

Another objective of this invention is to provide a push-button conductive terminal assembly, in which two latches on the post cover are correspondingly positioned and assembled with the recessed portion of the conductive post along a first direction. This not only improves the ease of assembly of the post cover but also reduces the number of parts in the assembly. Furthermore, under pressure, the post cover and the conductive post can move relative to each other. This relative movement provides sufficient space to disassemble the post cover from the conductive post using fingers or tools, effectively improving maintenance efficiency.

Another objective of this invention is to provide a push-button conductive terminal assembly that, through the conductive post, snap-fit nut, and/or conductive terminal plate, enhances structural strength against the reaction force during wire assembly and disassembly, and improves electrical connection stability. Furthermore, the conductive post, snap-fit nut, and/or conductive terminal plate allow for free rotation of the wire insertion position, increasing the flexibility of wire assembly during on-site installation.

Another objective of this invention is to provide a push-button conductive terminal assembly mounted on a fixed base. By reassembling the push-button conductive terminal assembly with the fixed base, heat dissipation and waterproofing/dustproofing are improved, thereby enhancing electrical connection stability.

To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this application provides a push-button conductive terminal assembly comprising a conductive post, a post cover, an elastic element, wires, and a conductive substrate. The conductive post includes a head, a recessed portion, a body, and a post through-hole. The head, recessed portion, and body are sequentially connected along a first direction. The post through-hole penetrates the head along a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The post cover covers the head of the conductive post and includes a top plate, two first side plates, two second side plates, two latches, and two second side plate through-holes. The top plate connects to the two first side plates and the two second side plates respectively. The two first side plates are spaced apart along a third direction, and the head is positioned between the two first side plates. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Two hooks are respectively disposed on the two first side plates and are assembled correspondingly with the recessed portion of the conductive post. Two second side plates are spaced apart along a second direction, with the head positioned between the two second side plates. Two through holes in the second side plates respectively penetrate the two second side plates along the second direction. The two through holes in the second side plates are concentric in the second direction and spatially opposite the through hole in the post. The two through holes in the second side plates and the through hole in the post partially overlap in the second direction. An elastic element is disposed between the head and the top plate and includes a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end respectively abut against the head of the conductive post and the top plate of the post cover in the first direction. A detachable wire passes through the two through holes in the second side plates and the through hole in the post, and includes a conductive terminal. Conductive terminals are disposed at the ends of the wire. When the column cover is subjected to pressure from a first direction, causing the elastic element to be squeezed, the conductive terminals are allowed to pass through the two second side plate through holes and the column through hole. When the pressure is released, the restoring force of the elastic element causes the two second side plates of the column cover to clamp against the conductive terminals, and the conductive terminals are electrically connected to the conductive column. A conductive substrate is disposed adjacent to the body of the conductive column and includes a substrate through hole. The substrate through hole and the conductive column are correspondingly disposed along the first direction. The body of the conductive column passes through the substrate through hole of the conductive substrate and is electrically connected to the conductive substrate.

In one embodiment, the conductive post of the push-button conductive terminal assembly includes a receiving groove. The receiving groove is disposed at the head of the conductive post. A first end of the elastic element is at least partially received in the receiving groove.

In one embodiment, the recessed portion of the conductive post of the press-type conductive terminal assembly further includes a recessed bottom end. The two latches of the post cover each have a latch bottom end. The recessed bottom end and the latch bottom end are correspondingly positioned along a first direction, and are separated by a first distance along the first direction. When pressure is applied to the post cover, the elastic element is compressed, causing the latch bottom end to approach or abut against the recessed bottom end.

In one embodiment, the push-button conductive terminal assembly further includes a nut. The conductive post includes a locking portion. The locking portion is connected to the body of the conductive post. The locking portion passes through a through-hole in the substrate and engages with the nut.

In one embodiment, the push-button conductive terminal assembly further includes a conductive terminal plate. The conductive terminal plate is provided corresponding to the through-hole of the substrate and is electrically connected to the conductive substrate. The locking portion of the conductive post penetrates the conductive substrate and the conductive terminal plate and engages with a nut.

In one embodiment, the locking portion of the main body of the conductive post of the press-type conductive terminal assembly is cylindrical and circular when viewed upward along the first direction.

In one embodiment, a first accommodating space is provided between the conductive post and the through-hole of the substrate in the press-type conductive terminal assembly. A second accommodating space is provided between the conductive post and the conductive terminal plate. The first accommodating space and the second accommodating space are connected. Adhesive is disposed in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space. The adhesive bonds the conductive post, the conductive substrate, and the conductive terminal plate.

Two second side plates of the post cover abut against at least one annular groove and/or the extension portion.

In one embodiment, the elastic element of the push-button conductive terminal assembly is a spring.

In one embodiment, the post cover of the push-button conductive terminal assembly is made of plastic or metal material.

In one embodiment, the two first side plates of the push-button conductive terminal assembly are elastic. Each of the two first side plates further includes a cutout. The cutout is provided extending from the bottom end of the latch in a first direction.

To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this application provides a push-button conductive terminal assembly disposed on a fixed base. The fixed base includes an upper part, a lower part, and a base through hole. The upper part and the lower part are connected to each other along a first direction. The base through hole penetrates the upper part along a second direction. The push-button conductive terminal assembly includes a conductive post, a post cover, an elastic element, wires, and a conductive substrate. The conductive post includes a head, a recessed part, a body, and a post through hole. The head, the recessed part, and the body are sequentially connected along the first direction. The post through hole penetrates the head along the second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The post cover covers the head of the conductive post and includes a top plate, two first side plates, two second side plates, two hooks, and two second side plate through holes. The top plate is connected to two first side plates and two second side plates. The two first side plates are spaced apart along a third direction, with the head positioned between them. Two hooks are respectively disposed on the two first side plates and correspond to the recessed portion of the conductive post. The two second side plates are arranged opposite each other along a second direction, with the head positioned between them. Through holes in the two second side plates penetrate the two second side plates respectively along the second direction. The through holes in the two second side plates are concentric in the second direction and spatially opposite the through holes in the post. The through holes in the two second side plates and the through holes in the post partially overlap in the second direction. An elastic element is disposed between the head and the top plate and includes a first end and a second end. The first and second ends respectively abut against the head of the conductive post and the top plate of the post cover in the first direction. A wire is detachably threaded through two second side plate through-holes and the post through-hole, and includes a conductive terminal. The conductive terminal is located at the end of the wire. When the post cover is subjected to pressure from the first direction, causing the elastic element to be squeezed, the conductive terminal is allowed to pass through the fixing base along the second direction and then through the two second side plate through-holes and the post through-hole. When the pressure is released, the restoring force of the elastic element causes the two second side plates of the post cover and the conductive terminal to clamp against each other, and the conductive terminal is electrically connected to the conductive post. A conductive substrate is adjacent to the body of the conductive post and includes a substrate through-hole. The substrate through-hole and the conductive post are correspondingly arranged along the first direction. The main body of the conductive pillar has a through hole in the conductive substrate and is electrically connected to the conductive substrate. The conductive substrate is attached to the lower part of the fixing base.

The guide portion is connected to the extension portion and is disposed at the end of the conductive terminal. At least one annular groove is disposed around the extension portion. Two second side plates of the post cover abut against at least one annular groove and/or the extension portion.

In one embodiment, the wire of the press-type conductive terminal assembly includes an insulating portion and a sealing ring.

Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. This invention relates to a press-type conductive terminal assembly 1, comprising a conductive post 10, a post cover 20, an elastic element 30, a wire 40, and a conductive substrate 50. The conductive post 10 includes a head 11, a recessed portion 12, a body 13, and a post through-hole 14. The head 11, the recessed portion 12, and the body 13 are sequentially connected along a first direction Z (i.e., the Z-axis direction). The post through-hole 14 penetrates the head 11 along a second direction X (i.e., the X-axis direction). The first direction Z is perpendicular to the second direction X. The column cover 20 covers the head 11 of the conductive column 10 and includes a top plate 21, two first side plates 22, two second side plates 23, two hooks 24, and two second side plate through holes 25. The top plate 21 is connected to the two first side plates 22 and the two second side plates 23 respectively. The two first side plates 22 are spaced apart along a third direction Y (i.e., the Y-axis direction), and the head 11 is located between the two first side plates 22. The third direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction Z and the second direction X. The two hooks 24 are respectively located on the two first side plates 22 and are correspondingly assembled with the inward portion 12 of the conductive column 10. Two second side plates 23 are spaced apart along the second direction X, with the head portion positioned between the two second side plates 23. Two second side plate through holes 25 penetrate the two second side plates 23 respectively along the second direction X, and the two second side plate through holes 25 are concentric in the second direction X view and are spatially opposite to the column through hole 14. The two second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14 partially overlap in the second direction X view. An elastic element 30 is disposed between the head portion 11 and the top plate 21, and includes a first end 30a and a second end 30b. The first end 30a and the second end 30b respectively abut against the head portion 11 of the conductive column 10 and the top plate 21 of the column cover 20 in the first direction Z. The wire 40 is detachably threaded through the two second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14, and includes a conductive terminal 41. The conductive terminal 41 is disposed at the end of the wire 40. When the column cover 20 is subjected to a pressure F from the first direction Z, causing the elastic element 30 to be squeezed, the conductive terminal 41 is allowed to pass through the two second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14. When the pressure F is released, the restoring force of the elastic element 30 causes the two second side plates 23 of the column cover 20 to clamp against the conductive terminal 41, and the conductive terminal 41 is electrically connected to the conductive column 10. The conductive substrate 50 is disposed adjacent to the body portion 13 of the conductive column 10, and includes a substrate through hole 51. The substrate through-hole 51 and the conductive post 10 are correspondingly arranged along the first direction Z. The body portion 13 of the conductive post 10 passes through the substrate through-hole 51 of the conductive substrate 50 and is electrically connected to the conductive substrate 50. In this embodiment, the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 can be assembled through the conductive post 10, the post cover 20, the elastic element 30, the wire 40 and the conductive substrate 50. Compared with the prior art, the number of parts is reduced, improving assembly efficiency and yield. The assembly process is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the first end 30a of the elastic element 30 is assembled to the head 11 of the conductive post 10, so that the second end 30b of the elastic element 30 protrudes above the top surface 11a of the head 11. The column cover 20 and the conductive column 10 are assembled together along the first direction Z, restricting the elastic element 30 between the head 11 of the conductive column 10 and the column cover 20. Two latches 24 of the column cover 20 and the recessed portion 12 of the conductive column 10 are correspondingly arranged and assembled along the first direction. Because the two first side plates 22 have elastic properties, and the two latches 24 are positioned towards the recessed portion 12, the two latches 24 expand outwards when they travel through the head 11, and spring back when they travel through the recessed portion 12, achieving a locking effect. This not only improves the ease of assembly of the column cover but also reduces the number of components. The completed first-stage assembly, viewed in the second direction X, shows a second side plate through-hole 25 on one side, a pillar through-hole 14, and a second side plate through-hole 25 on the other side arranged sequentially, with the two second side plate through-holes 25 being concentric and partially overlapping with the pillar through-hole 14. In the second stage, the first-stage assembly is assembled onto the conductive substrate 50. The conductive pillar 10 is electrically connected to the conductive substrate 50 by passing through the substrate through-hole 51 of the conductive substrate 50 through the body portion 13 of the conductive pillar 10. Furthermore, when a pressure F along the first direction Z is applied to the pillar cover 20, causing the two second side plate through-holes 25 and the pillar through-hole 14 to be concentric circles, the conductive terminal 41 can be inserted. By releasing pressure F, the elastic element 30 is reset, which in turn causes the column cover 20 to reset, clamping the conductive terminals 41 at the outer edges of the two second side plate through holes 25, thus achieving electrical connection. When it is necessary to remove the conductive terminals 41, pressure F must be applied to the column cover 20 again to align the two second side plate through holes 25 with the column through hole 14 before removal. This achieves the benefit of easy wiring of the cable 40. It should be further noted that the second end 30b of the elastic element 30 has a compression distance from the top surface 11a of the head to the top plate 21 of the column cover 20. This compression distance is equal to the distance from which the second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14 align with the concentric circles. By using the top plate 21 to easily and concentrically align the second side plate through hole 25 and the column through hole 14 on the top surface 11a of the head, the assembly efficiency of the conductive terminal 41 is improved.

Please refer to Figure 3 again. The conductive post 10 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 includes a receiving groove 15. The receiving groove 15 is disposed at the head 11 of the conductive post 10. The first end 30a of the elastic element 30 is at least partially received in the receiving groove 15. In this embodiment, the receiving groove 15 is provided as a cylindrical blind hole, but is not limited thereto. The depth of the receiving groove 15 extends from the top surface 11a of the head 11 of the conductive post 10 to the bottom of the receiving groove. By using the sidewall of the receiving groove 15 to limit the radial displacement of the elastic element 30 and without interfering with the operation of the elastic element 30, it is possible to avoid the elastic element 30 from being misaligned in the receiving groove 15 during the assembly of the post cover 20, thereby improving the assembly yield. It should be further explained that the restoring force of the elastic element 30 is greater than the weight of the column cover 20. Under the condition of no loss of pressure F, it can ensure that the column cover 20 is firmly fixed to the conductive column 10, and has sufficient restoring force to clamp the conductive terminal 41, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection.

Please refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6. The recessed portion 12 of the conductive post 10 of the push-button conductive terminal assembly 1 has a recessed bottom end 12a. The two latches 24 of the post cover 20 each have a latch bottom end 24a. The recessed bottom end 12a and the latch bottom end 24a are correspondingly arranged along the first direction Z. The recessed bottom end 12a and the latch bottom end 24a are separated by a first distance H1 along the first direction Z. When pressure is applied to the post cover 20, the elastic element 30 is compressed, causing the latch bottom end 24a to approach or abut against the recessed bottom end 12a. In this embodiment, a first distance H1 exists between the bottom end 12a of the recessed portion and the bottom end 24a of the latch, allowing the post cover 20 and the conductive post 10 to move relative to each other along a first direction Z under a pressure F. This relative movement provides sufficient space to detach the post cover 20 from the conductive post 10 using fingers or tools. The first distance H1 improves replacement or maintenance efficiency. In other embodiments, when a pressure F is applied, the bottom end 24a of the latch abuts against the bottom end 12a of the recessed portion to achieve an overpressure prevention mechanism. This makes it easy for the two second side plate through holes 25 and the post through hole 14 to achieve concentricity, improving assembly efficiency. It should be emphasized that, in this embodiment, the compression distance between the top surface 11a of the head and the top plate 21 of the column cover 20 and the first distance H1 are only allowed to be offset by one of them, so as to avoid mutual interference.

Please refer to Figures 5 and 6. The conductive substrate 50 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 includes an upper surface 50a and a thickness T. A second distance H2 is provided from the bottom end 12a of the recessed portion to the upper surface 50a of the conductive substrate 50. The second distance H2 is greater than the thickness T of the conductive substrate 50. In this embodiment, by ensuring that the second distance H2 is greater than the thickness T of the conductive substrate 50, space is freed up on the upper surface 50a of the conductive substrate 50, allowing electronic components or heat-conducting components to be arranged on the upper surface 50a of the conductive substrate 50. The second distance H2 improves the flexible configuration of the press-type conductive terminal.

Please refer to Figures 3 and 7. The push-button conductive terminal assembly 1 further includes a nut 60. The conductive post 10 includes a locking portion 13a. The locking portion 13a is connected to the body portion 13 of the conductive post 10. The locking portion 13a penetrates the substrate through-hole 51 of the conductive substrate 50 and engages with the nut 60. In this embodiment, inserting the conductive terminal 41 into the first-stage assembly requires a force. The longer the second distance H2, the greater the resistance force that the joint between the conductive substrate 50 and the locking portion 13a needs to withstand. The engagement of the nut 60 and the locking portion 13a increases the structural strength to resist the reaction force during the installation and removal of the wire 40, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection.

Please refer to Figures 3 and 7. The push-button conductive terminal assembly 1 further includes a conductive terminal plate 70. The conductive terminal plate 70 is correspondingly disposed with the through hole 51 on the substrate and is electrically connected to the conductive substrate 50. The locking portion 13a of the conductive post 10 penetrates the conductive substrate 50 and the conductive terminal plate 70 and engages with the nut 60. In this embodiment, the conductive terminal plate 70 is first joined to the conductive substrate 50, and then the locking portion 13a of the conductive post 10 penetrates the conductive terminal plate 70. The engagement of the nut 60, the conductive terminal plate 70, and the locking portion 13a enhances the structural stability against the reaction force during the assembly and disassembly of the wire 40 and improves the stability of the electrical connection.

Please refer again to Figures 3 and 7. The locking portion 13a of the conductive post 10 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 is cylindrical and circular when viewed upward along the first direction Z. In this embodiment, the circular locking portion 13a, viewed upward along the first direction Z, is matched with the circular through hole of the conductive terminal plate 70. This allows the first-stage assembly to freely rotate on the conductive substrate 50. The circular cross-section of the locking portion 13a, combined with the nut 60 and/or the conductive terminal plate 70, allows the conductive post 10 to freely rotate to improve the flexibility of assembling the wiring 40 in the field.

Please refer to Figure 7. A first accommodating space R1 is provided between the conductive post 10 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 and the through-hole 51 of the substrate. A second accommodating space R2 is provided between the conductive post 10 and the conductive terminal plate 70. The first accommodating space R1 and the second accommodating space R2 are connected. A fixing adhesive L is disposed in the first accommodating space R1 and the second accommodating space R2. The fixing adhesive L bonds the conductive post 10, the conductive substrate 50, and the conductive terminal plate 70. In this embodiment, the first accommodating space R1 and the second accommodating space R2 are connected. The fixing adhesive L is injected from the first accommodating space R1 until the second accommodating space R2 is filled. The injection of the fixing adhesive L simultaneously improves structural strength and sealing performance. The injection of the fixing adhesive L further improves electrical connection stability.

Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. Each of the two first side plates 22 of the post cover 20 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 is connected to two second side plates 23. In this embodiment, the two first side plates 22 and the two second side plates 23 are respectively attached to the head 11 of the conductive post 10, making the head 11 stable within the post cover 20. The interconnection of the two first side plates 22 and the two second side plates 23 strengthens the structural strength of the post cover 20 and the elastic strength of the first side plates 22, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection.

Please refer to Figures 3 and 7. The conductive terminal 41 of the wire 40 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 includes a guide portion 41a, an extension portion 41b, and at least one annular groove 41c. The guide portion 41a is connected to the extension portion 41b and is disposed at the end of the conductive terminal 41. At least one annular groove 41c is disposed around the extension portion 41b. The two second side plates 23 of the column cover 20 abut against at least one annular groove 41c and/or the extension portion 41b. In this embodiment, there are two annular grooves 41c. With the conductive terminal 41 passing through the two second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14, the clamps on the outer edge of the second side plate through hole 25 are far from the annular groove 41c of the guide part 41a, while the clamps on the outer edge of the other second side plate through hole 25 extend to the part 41b. Under improper external force, the conductive terminal 41 is pulled outward, causing the annular groove 41c far from the guide part 41a to lose its restraining force on the second side plate 23, and it can be immediately restrained by the other annular groove 41c. The setting of the annular groove 41c improves the stability of the electrical connection and reduces the risk of power failure by preventing the conductive terminal 41 from being pulled outward.

Please refer to Figure 3. The elastic element 30 of the push-button conductive terminal assembly 1 is a spring.

Please refer to Figure 3. The post cover 20 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 is made of plastic or metal. In this embodiment, the post cover 20 is made of metal, for example, to improve stability through the elasticity and electrical connection characteristics of the metal material itself. In other embodiments, the post cover 20 is made of plastic to reduce costs and thereby improve the industrial applicability of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1.

Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. The two first side plates 22 of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 are elastic. Each of the two first side plates 22 further includes a cutout 26. The cutout 26 extends from the bottom end 24a of the latch in a first direction Z. In this embodiment, the elasticity of the latch 24 is optimized through the design of the cutout 26. The length and width of the cutout 26 can be easily modified to accommodate the size of the head 11 of different conductive posts 10, thereby improving the industrial applicability of the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1.

Please refer to Figures 8, 9, and 10. This invention relates to a push-button conductive terminal assembly 1a assembled on a fixed base 80. The fixed base 80 includes an upper portion 81, a lower portion 82, and a base through hole 83. The upper portion 81 and the lower portion 82 are connected to each other along a first direction Z. The base through hole 83 penetrates the upper portion 81 along a second direction X. The push-button conductive terminal assembly 1a includes a conductive post 10, a post cover 20, an elastic element 30, a wire 40, and a conductive substrate 50. The conductive post 10 includes a head portion 11, a recessed portion 12, a body portion 13, and a post through hole 14. The head portion 11, the recessed portion 12, and the body portion 13 are connected sequentially along the first direction Z. The post through hole 14 penetrates the head portion 11 along the second direction X. The first direction Z is perpendicular to the second direction X. The column cover 20 covers the head 11 of the conductive column 10 and includes a top plate 21, two first side plates 22, two second side plates 23, two hooks 24, and two second side plate through holes 25. The top plate 21 connects to the two first side plates 22 and the two second side plates 23 respectively. The two first side plates 22 are spaced apart along a third direction (i.e., the Y direction), and the head 11 is located between the two first side plates 22. The two hooks 24 are respectively located on the two first side plates and correspond to the recessed portion 12 of the conductive column 10. The two second side plates 23 are spaced apart along the second direction X, and the head 11 is located between the two second side plates 23. Two second side plate through holes 25 pass through the two second side plates 23 along the second direction X, and the two second side plate through holes 25 are concentric in the second direction and are spatially opposite to the column through hole 14. The two second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14 partially overlap in the second direction X. An elastic element 30 is disposed between the head 11 and the top plate 21, and includes a first end 30a and a second end 30b. The first end 30a and the second end 30b abut against the head 11 of the conductive column 10 and the top plate 21 of the column cover 20, respectively, in the first direction Z. A wire 40 is detachably passed through the two second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14, and includes a conductive terminal 41. The conductive terminal 41 is disposed at the end of the wire 40. When the column cover 20 is subjected to a pressure F from the first direction Z, causing the elastic element 30 to be squeezed, the conductive terminal 41 is allowed to pass through the fixed base 80 along the second direction X and then through the two second side plate through holes 25 and the column through hole 14. When the pressure F is released, the restoring force of the elastic element 30 causes the two second side plates 23 of the column cover 20 to clamp with the conductive terminal 41, and the conductive terminal 41 is electrically connected to the conductive column 10. The conductive substrate 50 is disposed adjacent to the body portion 13 of the conductive column 10 and includes a substrate through hole 51. The substrate through hole 51 and the conductive column 10 are correspondingly disposed along the first direction Z. The body portion 13 of the conductive column 10 passes through the substrate through hole 51 of the conductive substrate 50 and is electrically connected to the conductive substrate 50. The conductive substrate 50 is attached to the lower part 82 of the fixing base 80. In this embodiment, the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1a is similar to the press-type conductive terminal assembly 1 shown in Figures 1 to 7, and the same component designations represent the same components, structures, and functions. This embodiment includes three sets of first-stage components and three sets of wires 40. The three sets of first-stage components are disposed on the upper part 81 of the fixing base 80. The conductive substrate 50 is attached to the lower part 82 of the fixing base 80. The locking part 13a of the conductive post 10 penetrates the lower part 82 of the fixing base 80 and engages with the nut 60 and the conductive terminal plate 70. The conductive terminal 41 of the wire 40 penetrates the base through hole 83 and is electrically connected to the first-stage components. In this embodiment, the mounting base 80 is a cooling module that not only conducts heat away from the conductive substrate 50, but also encloses the conductive terminal 41 and the first-stage component in a sealed space. By reassembling the push-type conductive terminal component 1 with the mounting base 80, heat dissipation and waterproof and dustproof performance are improved, thereby enhancing the stability of the electrical connection.

Please refer to Figure 10. The wire 40 of the push-button conductive terminal assembly 1a includes an insulating portion 42 and a sealing ring 43. The insulating portion 42 connects to the extension 41b of the conductive terminal 41. The sealing ring 43 is disposed around the insulating portion 42 and is sealed to the base through hole 83. In this embodiment, by using the sealing ring 43 to surround the insulating portion 42 and seal it to the base through hole 83, the push-button conductive terminal assembly 1a is made more waterproof and dustproof, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection.

In summary, this invention provides a capacitor assembly that can be assembled using conductive posts, post caps, elastic elements, wires, and a conductive substrate. Compared to conventional technologies, it reduces the number of parts, improving assembly efficiency and yield. The action of applying and releasing pressure on the post cap compresses and resets the elastic element, stably clamping the conductive terminals of the wires and significantly improving the efficiency of wire assembly and disassembly. The corresponding hooks on the post cap and the recessed portion of the conductive post enhance the ease of assembly of the post cap and reduce the number of components. Furthermore, there is a first distance between the bottom end of the latch and the bottom end of the recessed portion. This first distance changes with the application and release of pressure, providing sufficient space to remove the column cover using fingers or tools, effectively improving assembly and maintenance efficiency. Moreover, the abutting action of the bottom end of the latch and the bottom end of the recessed portion prevents overpressure from causing the second side plate through-hole and the column through-hole to overlap again. In other words, the second side plate through-hole and the column through-hole are more easily aligned concentrically, improving assembly efficiency. The locking nut and/or conductive terminal plate on the main body enhance the structural strength against reaction forces during wire assembly and disassembly, thereby improving electrical connection stability. The circular cross-section of the locking part, combined with a conductive nut and/or conductive terminal plate, allows for adjustment of the insertion position of the post through hole, facilitating on-site assembly to accommodate insufficient wire length or design changes. Furthermore, the push-button conductive terminal assembly is mounted on a fixed base. The conductive substrate, nut, and/or conductive terminal plate are assembled at the lower part of the fixed base, while the conductive post, post cover, and elastic element are assembled at the upper part. The wire is then passed through the base through hole for final assembly. This enhances heat dissipation and waterproof/dustproof performance, thereby improving electrical connection stability.

This case can be modified by an artist skilled in this technique, but all modifications will still fall within the scope of the patent application.
