  • Patent number: 5316505
    Abstract: A battery terminal connector which is capable of reliably maintaining an electrical cable or harness in electrical contact with a battery, while having the added benefit of having an economical two-piece construction whose individual members are formed by separate stamping operations. The two-piece construction permits one member to be sized and structured to securely clamp the battery terminal post while the second member is sized and structured to securely crimp the electrical cable or cables. The battery terminal connector includes two separate circumferential bands, each of which circumscribes and clamps the battery terminal post. The circumferential bands define a circumferential slot therebetween which slightly extrudes the battery terminal post to increase the retention capability of the battery terminal connector.
