Abstract
A battery pack connection consists of a flat male plate having a plurality of spaced headed projections and female electrical terminals carried within a projecting housing while a flat female plate has a plurality of keyholes designed to facilitate receiving the projections and male electrical terminals positioned within a recess together with a flexible strip that engages a projection to enable locking and unlocking of the plates in both their electrical and mechanical connected relationship. The flexible strip is moved away from its locking position by a cam on a pivoted actuator which can be moved by a finger.
