An electrically conductive terminal generally extends along a first direction and includes a straight middle portion, a resiliently compressible mating portion extending from a first end of the middle portion for making contact with a conductive pad, and a terminating portion extending from a second end of the middle portion for making contact to a plurality of wires. The terminating portion includes a plurality of electrically connected segments separated by one or more walls and is configured to receive conductive ends of the plurality of wires in a one-to-one correspondence relationship. The terminating portion electrically connects the received wires.

A connection device for connecting at least one electrical conductor to a stud terminal includes: a contact element which has a connecting section for attaching to a stud of the stud terminal; and a housing that has at least one plug opening configured for inserting an electrical conductor. The electrical conductor is in electrical contact with a contact section of the contact element when the electrical conductor is inserted into the at least one plug opening.

A connector (1000) includes a housing (100), a cover (200), and a plurality of contacts (300). The housing (100) includes a housing front portion (10) having a plurality of first groove portions (20) and a housing rear portion (30) having a plurality of second groove portions (40) and a plurality of third groove portions (50) offset from the first groove portions (20). The cover (200) is configured to be combined with the housing front portion (10) and includes a plurality of fourth groove portions (210) including through holes (211). Each contact (300) includes a pressure connection portion (320) disposed in a corresponding through hole (211) and configured to contact a wire (370) inserted into the cover (200), a first section (310) disposed in the corresponding first groove portion (100, 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20, 210, 211, 250, 30, 40, 50), a second section (310, 320, 330, 350, 370) disposed in the corresponding second groove portion (20) and including a first contact portion (340) at an end, and a third section (350) disposed in the corresponding third groove portion (50) and including a second contact portion (360) at an end.

A battery terminal clamp is provided for a rechargeable storage battery. The battery terminal clamp includes a body portion made of a conductive material. The body portion has a top planar element and a bottom planar element. The top planar element includes an orifice for accommodating the terminal post of a storage battery, and a tab integrally formed with the body portion. This tab extends upwardly from the top planar element, and serves as a secure attachment point for jumper cables.
