BATTERY SENSOR CLAMP ASSEMBLY

摘要

A clamp assembly (10) for securing a battery sensor to a vehicle battery comprises a surround portion (16) defining an aperture (24) for at least partially surrounding a battery post for the vehicle battery and a pair of clamping arms (26) extending from opposing ends of the surround portion (16). A tab (34) extends from one of the clamp arms (26) toward the other of the clamp arms (26), wherein the tab (34) defines a first through hole (36). A wedge (28) has a generally U-shaped cross-section, where a width of the base (30) of the wedge (28) is less than a width at distal ends (32) of the U-shaped cross-section and the base (30) of the wedge (28) defines a second through hole (38). The wedge (28) is fitted over the clamping arms (26) and a fastener (22) is threaded through the first and the second through holes (36,38). A nut (40) is threaded on the fastener (22) to force the wedge (28) over the clamp arms (26) such that the width at the base (30) of the wedge (28) forces the clamp arms (26) toward one another.
