Abstract

A cable connector includes a metal housing, conductive terminals, and contact members. The metal housing includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. An accommodation space is formed for communicating with the first end and the second end. The conductive terminals are configured to clamp cables, and each conductive terminal includes a clamp portion, a containing portion, and an engaging portion. The clamp portion and the engaging portion are disposed at two ends of the containing portion, respectively. At least one slot is formed on the engaging portion. Each contact member passes through the accommodation space from the first end and is inserted into the engaging portion. An outside surface of the contact member contacts an inner surface of the engaging portion by making surface-to-surface contact, thereby reducing a resistance value to permit efficient power transmission.
