Abstract: A rechargeable battery socket and the manufacturing method of making the same is disclosed. The rechargeable battery socket includes an insulating housing defining a number of terminal channels, a number of terminals received in the insulating housing, and a shell assembled to one side of the insulating housing. Each terminal includes a contacting portion received in corresponding terminal channel and a tail extending out of the insulating housing. Each terminal channel provides a pair of ribs on two opposite inside faces thereof. The contacting portion of the terminal cooperates with the rib to thereby secure the terminal in the insulating housing.

Abstract: A battery connector includes an insulative housing, a contact retained in the insulative housing and a water-proof protective cover tightly covering the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a mating surface, a mounting surface and a receiving space extending forwardly through the mating surface. The contact is retained in the receiving space. The contact includes a rear section, a mounting tail extending beyond the protective cover, first and second protrusions extending forwardly from opposite lateral sides of the rear section, and first and second contacting sections extending inwardly and backwardly from the first and the second protrusions, respectively. The water-proof protective cover tightly covers the mounting surface of the insulative housing.
