Abstract
A battery post connector having a body member formed from sheet metal comprising a clamp section for attachment to a terminal post and a base section for rigid connection to a battery cable. The clamp section has an inner surface adapted to grippingly engage a battery post to inhibit angular rotation and includes elongated slots disposed oblique to the central axis of the battery post with opposite edges adapted to penetrate the battery post and a coined pattern extending adjacent and parallel to the slots. The terminal is clamped to the battery post by a nut and bolt assembly with the nut being force fit mounted to the clamp section for good electrical continuity therewith and heat sink characteristics and the bolt having a captured bolt head for positive mechanical opening of the connector.
