Battery connector

In many applications, batteries are coupled together in series to obtain the desired voltage to provide stand alone or emergency power, or to power electrical devices. Accordingly, many different types of electrical connectors have been developed for interconnecting the terminals of batteries so that the batteries can be electrically coupled together in series to provide the appropriate voltage to power the electrical device. The use of battery terminal connectors for electrically connecting a vehicle storage battery to electronic equipment mounted within the vehicle is well known. Typical connections from the battery to the vehicle electrical system are a pair of cables respectively attached at either a top post connection or a side screw connection. The cable assembly has connectors which clamp to the battery posts, providing an electrical and mechanical connection. Battery connectors are in common use in portable and small electrical apparatus, such as calculators, clocks, wristwatches, hearing aids, IC cards, to provide an electric current to electronic components mounted therein, such as a circuit board, LED, or other electronic devices. Typically, the electrical connection between the battery and the electronic component is made by a pair of stamped and formed metal contacts. Portable electronic products, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistant (PDA), notebook computer and digital camera, use rechargable atteryies. Battery chargers are ordinarily utilized in these products for supplying power. Battery connectors correspondingly serve as media between the electronic products and power. Such a battery connector is generally used by being connected to a subject substrate incorporated in an electronic device mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). Terminal ends of contact members are exposed from a housing of the battery connector, and soldering portions project therefrom in flat form. A battery connector used in a cell phone or other portable apparatus typically comprises resilient electrical terminals that protrude beyond a mating face of a housing of the connector within which they are mounted. These terminals are biased into the housing when a battery is mounted in the apparatus and electrically connecting with the battery connector.
