  • Contact system for interconnection of substrate and battery cell
    Patent number: 6319631
    Abstract: This invention is a U-shaped connector having horizontal flanges, the connector being used for attaching a substrate having an aperture to a battery cell. The connector is first soldered to a substrate with the horizontal flanges mating with the top of the substrate, while the U-shaped portion of the connector protrudes through the aperture in the substrate. The connector and substrate assembly can then be welded to a battery cell. In an alternate embodiment, service loops are added to the connector to give the substrate greater range of motion relative to the cell.
