Abstract
A battery contact (1) for connecting a battery (9) to an electric circuit (4) is comprised a first portion (2) for coupling to the electric circuit and a second portion (3) for coupling to the battery. The contact is made in one piece of electrically conductive sheet metal and is cut and bent so as to form the second portion into a tapered helical spring. The first portion (2) is formed with two retaining prongs (6,7) which facilitate locating and fixing the contact to the electric circuit (4) and a tab 8 which is used for soldering the contact to the electric circuit. In order to allow the contact to be easily picked-up in an automatic manufacturing line, a flat handling portion (11) is provided between the first and second portions.
