Abstract
A connector of a type used with dry cell batteries comprises an insulating support having a snap fastener plug terminal and a snap fastener socket terminal on one surface thereof. The support has terminal supporting projections on its one surface and the terminals are stamped and formed sheet metal members. The terminals are partially inserted through the support so that the external contact portions of the terminals are against the terminal supporting projections and the internal or second contact portions of the terminals are on the reverse surface of the support. The connector can be used as a closure for the jacket of a 9-volt battery. A manufacturing method for the connector is also disclosed.
