A bus bar has an end that is configured to be received in and extend through the slot when in the assembled condition in which the end is in electrical contact with the terminal portion of the terminal. A nonconductive shroud encloses the bus bar.

Described is a power connection device of an electric battery including a cage, a busbar and a contact pad. The cage is made from a first material chosen for its mechanical properties and rigidity. The busbar and the pad are made from a second material chosen for its electrical conduction properties. The cage also comprises spring means designed to clamp at least a portion of a tab, inserted into the cage, against the pad. A connection assembly comprising the power connection device and a tab electrically connected to a battery cell is also described.

A bus bar includes a plurality of fastening holes in which a plurality of electrodes of a single cell is fastened with a nut, and a plurality of projections formed between the fastening holes and projecting in a direction away from the single cell. A case includes a bus bar hosing portion in which the bus bar is housed, and a support portion disposed in the projection of the bus bar housed in the bus bar housing portion and abutting against a back surface of the projection to support the bus bar. The support portion includes a base portion protruding in an arrangement direction of the fastening holes. At least a part of both side surfaces of the base portion overlaps with an inner side surface of the projection as viewed from a direction perpendicular to a fastening direction in which the bus bar is fastened to the electrode.

An electronic device includes a device body and a female terminal structure connected to the device body. The female terminal structure includes a female terminal body, a tunnel, a second terminal member, and a secured terminal member. The female terminal body is connected to the device body and a mating electronic device, respectively. The tunnel is recessed from the female terminal body. The second terminal member is disposed at the female terminal body and received in the tunnel. The second terminal member has a terminal inserting portion. The secured terminal member is disposed at the female terminal body, spaced from the second terminal member, and disposed on an outer periphery of the extension portion. The extension portion is substantially flushed with the secured terminal member. The second terminal member is not flushed with the extension portion. The second terminal member is enclosed by the extension portion.

The present disclosure relates to a plug-in module connector or the electrically conductive connection of at least two battery modules, including a flexible busbar for the electrically conductive connection of respective poles of the battery modules, the busbar enabling tolerance compensation with respect to the poles in the transverse direction of the module connector; two retaining clamps for gripping the busbar and one of the respective poles of the battery modules, the retaining clamps enabling tolerance compensation with respect to the poles in the longitudinal direction and vertical direction of the module connector; an insulation housing in which the retaining clamps plugged onto the busbar can be received. Furthermore, the present disclosure also concerns a method for the electrically conductive connection of at least two battery modules by means of a plug-in module connector.

An automotive battery includes a positive contact slot in a battery housing, the slot opening into a positive slot encasement inside the battery for insertion of a positive electrical prong for electrical connection to a contact region on a positive battery post; and, a negative contact slot in the battery housing, the slot opening into a negative slot encasement inside the battery for insertion of a negative electrical prong for electrical connection to a contact region on a negative battery post.

A bus bar assembly includes a nonconductive terminal cap that is configured to secure to an electrically conductive terminal via an attachment feature. The terminal cap has a slot that is configured to expose a terminal portion of the terminal in an assembled condition. A bus bar has an end that is configured to be received in the slot in the assembled condition in which the end is in electrical contact with the terminal portion of the terminal. A nonconductive shroud encloses the bus bar. The end extends through shroud.

A bus bar assembly for electrically connecting a plurality of battery cells having electrode leads is provided. The bus bar assembly includes a bus bar support frame having an opening; an insertion bus bar, the insertion bus bar being displaceable relative to the bus bar support frame in the opening; side-adhering bus bars positioned with the insertion bus bar being interposed therebetween to form fitting spaces respectively besides opposite sides of the insertion bus bar so that at least one electrode lead is insertable into each of the fitting spaces; and a support member configured to support the insertion bus bar at a location protruding further from the bus bar support frame than the side-adhering bus bars protrude from the bus bar support frame, the support member being elastically deformable by the insertion bus bar when the insertion bus bar is pressed.

A terminal connection structure includes: an output terminal protruding from a surface of an exterior can of a battery and having an inclined surface, in a state that battery and a connection object are aligned, the inclined surface being inclined so as to be away from or close to the surface toward the connection object; and a bus bar having connection surface parallel to the inclined surface on one end side, surface contact between the connection surface and the inclined surface causing the one end side to be electrically connected to the output terminal, another end side being electrically connected to the connection object.
