Abstract
A battery holder is disclosed which is of one piece construction and which includes a housing having a base and a pair of spaced end walls. One of the end walls is longer than the other and defines a recess therein which is configured to receive one end of the battery when the battery is inserted in the housing. A resilient terminal contact is provided at both ends of the housing and the terminal contact at the end opposite the recess is configured in a manner such that as the battery is being inserted in the housing the terminal contact is biased toward its end of the housing, and when the battery has been inserted into the housing the resilient terminal contact moves into overlying relationship with its end of the battery to hold that end of the battery against removal from the housing. In addition, terminal tails are provided on the terminal contacts which are kinked across their width to retain the connector on a circuit board prior to soldering.
