Abstract: Provided are a circuit board assembly that can prevent contact between connection terminals due to whiskers even if whiskers grow from the connection terminals and a method for manufacturing an insert molded product. A cover body of a circuit board assembly has a plurality of partition walls that form a plurality of grooves each accommodating a corresponding one of connection terminals. The partition walls restrain the inner surface of a second cover of the cover body from entering the grooves when an external pressure is applied to a part of the cover body which covers the connection terminals. The partition walls also prevent contact between adjoining ones of the connection terminals when whiskers grow.

Abstract: A battery terminal connector includes a clamp with extended arms to engage with varying size of terminal post of a battery. A connector extending from the clamp has either a protruded or hollow end depending on whether the clamp is engaged with a positive or negative terminal. A cable connecting a terminal of an external device is shaped to accommodate the connector to supply current to the external device from the battery. The battery terminal connector providing a connecting and cable shaped differently depending on whether it is connected to a positive or negative terminal post of the battery reduces accidents caused by mistakenly cross connecting a positive terminal of the battery to a negative terminal of the external device, and vice versa.
