Abstract
A battery connector for connecting a battery to supply electrical power to an electrical apparatus incorporating the connector comprises a housing and a number of contacts fixedly mounted in the housing. Each contact has a substantially identical structure. The contacts are mounted in grooves defined in the housing having different depths, whereby tail portions of the contacts are spaced different distances from a front face of the housing for proximity to the battery. Thus, when the connector is mounted to a printed circuit board by extending the tail portions of the contacts into holes defined in the printed circuit board, the tail portions of the contacts which are located closer to the front face of the housing fixedly engage with front edges of the corresponding holes and the tail portions of the other contacts fixedly engage with rear edges of the other holes.
