Abstract: An electrical connector of generally clam-shell construction includes an integral mount at the cable end of only one connector half to thereby provide an integral mount for a flexible strain relief. Additionally, a P.C. board mounted overtemperature sensing circuit is contained within the connector to sense an overtemperature condition inside the connector itself and illuminate an LED to provide a visual indication to an operator that an overtemperature condition has occurred. The LED remains illuminated so long as the connector is connected in circuit with the battery being charged and will remain so even after the battery charger's automatic circuitry reduces or cuts off charger power to the circuit. The circuit automatically resets itself for reuse upon disconnection (and cooling) of the connector from the charging circuit.
