  • Patent number: 6629863
    Abstract: A connection arrangement enables rapid connection and disconnection of a cable wire (11) to a post-shaped automobile battery terminal (12). A battery terminal connector (16), has a platform (17) with a front end forming a post-receiving hole (18) that receives the battery terminal, the platform having a rear end with a pair of stationary shoulders (21) and a pin contact (22) lying between the shoulders. A cable connector (25) includes a socket contact (26) that can connect to the battery connector, and a locking device. The locking device has a pair of clamp arms (31) that are resiliently biased together but that are deflected apart by a separator (38) until the arm shoulders (35) snap behind the stationary shoulders.

  • Patent number: 6544073
    Abstract: A connector is described, with a receiver (11) at the rear end that receives and terminates to a cable conductor (12), with a contact (15) at the front end, and with an electrical fuse (16) between the receiver and contact. The fuse has front and rear fuse terminals (42, 43). A threaded connection between a contact threaded stud part (52) and a threaded coupling (23) in the receiver can draw the contact and receiver together and clamp the fuse terminals between contact and receiver. An insulator (24) surrounds the threaded tube to mechanically fix the threaded coupling to the receiver while electrically isolating one from the other. The receiver has a rear end crimped around the cable conductor and a front end crimped around the insulator.
