POWER TERMINAL CONNECTOR

摘要

A power terminal connector (102) includes a flexible conductor (150) having a first mounting portion (160), a second mounting portion (162) and a flexible section (164) between the first and second mounting portions. The first mounting portion is terminated directly to a power terminal (104) of a first battery module (106). A female terminal (152) is coupled to the second mounting portion. The female terminal has a terminal body having a receptacle receiving a power terminal (105) of a second battery module (108). The terminal body is terminated to the second mounting portion to mechanically and electrically connect the terminal body to the flexible conductor. A contact spring is received in the receptacle and is electrically connected to the terminal body. The contact spring has spring beams defining interfaces for the power terminal to create a power path to the power terminal of the second battery module.
