(DE4323272-A1)      A battery terminal connector capable of reliably maintaining an electrical cable or harness in electrical contact with a battery, has an economical two-piece construction with individual members 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 (12) includes two circumferential bands (16a,16b) each of which circumscribes and clamps the battery terminal post. The circumferential bands form a circumferential slot between them which slightly extrudes the battery terminal post to increase the retention capability of the battery terminal connector. The bands are joined to flanges (18a,18b) defining a slot (30) of width controlled by a shoulder (28). Additional flanges (22a,22b) or (24a,24b) receive one end (38) of a crimping terminal (14). The latter is attached to the connector (12), and the connector clamped to the battery terminal post, by a fastener and nut (40). The terminal post (12,14) are stamped from brass and tin-plated.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Connection of wire harness or electrical cable to automotive or marine battery. Low-cost battery terminal connector formed by stamping operation.

USE/ADVANTAGE -   Connection of wire harness or electrical cable to automotive or marine battery. Low-cost battery terminal connector formed by stamping operation.    (US5316505-A)      The electrical connector for a battery post comprises a main terminal having one end, an opposite end and a frustoconical gripping portion interposed the one end and the opposite end, the frustoconical gripping portion having a annular shape so as to define an axial opening through it. The axial opening has a central axis, and the frustoconical gripping portion of the main terminal has a circumferentially extending slot.    A device constricts the frustoconical gripping portion about the battery post, and is operable to cause a clamping action by the frustoconical gripping portion about the battery post. As the constricting device constricts the frustoconical gripping portion the circumferentially extending slot enables the frustoconical gripping portion to generate a clamping force.    ADVANTAGE -   Battery terminal connector can be formed by stamping operation while being capable of providing sufficient structural strength and flexibility to permit repeated attachment and detachment.
