Patent attributes
A rotate-to-open clamping unit and a connection device having the same are disclosed. The connection device includes a housing and plural clamping unit disposed in the housing. The clamping unit includes an elastic member and a rotate-to-open member. The elastic member is leaned by a conductive terminal and has a moveable elastic arm and a pivotal connection space. The rotate-to-open member has an extending arm formed with an extending distal end pivoted in the pivotal connection space. The rotate-to-open member is rotated with the extending distal end served as an axis, the rotate-to-open member in a rotating status is able to drive the moveable elastic arm to be displaced so as to be opened, so that a conductive member can be elastically clamped or released between the moveable elastic arm and the conductive terminal.
