A battery connector (10) comprising a housing (12) having an opening (14) which defines a central axis A, the opening (14) being capable of receiving a battery terminal and either having therewithin or defining as a part thereof at least one fixed abutting surface and at least one movable clamping surface (20) between which the battery terminal may be received and clamped. The clamping surface (20) is defined as the innermost surface of a wedge (18), the wedge (18) being constrained to move towards and away from the central axis A of the opening (14), and hence, when in use, into or out of clamping engagement with the battery terminal, as and while the wedge (18) is moved substantially parallel to the central axis A of the opening (14). The battery connector (10) also includes an actuating means (22) for imparting movement to the wedge (18) substantially parallel to the central axis A of the opening (14). |
