Abstract

An electrical connector for storage battery posts stamped and formed from a coplanar sheet of conducting material. A plurality of tabs are bent from either side of the strip of material to form a plurality of C-shaped spring members. The opposing spring members have dissimilar radii so that after the strip is formed into a circular shape, the inner surface is tapered to fit the trapezoidal configuration of the posts.
