Abstract
The present invention discloses a conductive terminal including two conductive members or further comprising a hot melt fixing member. Each conductive member is provided with a groove which is concaved in from an edge of the host conductive member. The grooves on the two conductive members are opposite to each other and a gap is maintained between the two conductive members by an elastic force between the conductive members. The hot melt fixing member is put into the grooves of the two conductive members and is combined on the conductive members to overcome the elastic force, enabling the two conductive member to form contact limit, the hot melt fixing member to be damaged when overheat, and the two conductive members to be opened by the elastic force to form open circuit. The conductive member can be applied to overheat protection of a plug and a socket.
