Abstract
A battery connector (1) comprises a dielectric housing (2), a first conductive contact (3) and a second conductive contact (4). The dielectric housing (2) defines a cylindrical receiving cavity (20) for holding a battery therein. The first conductive contact (3), secured in said dielectric housing (2) on a side wall of the receiving cavity (20), comprises a contacting section (34) facing said receiving cavity (20). The second conductive contact (4), secured in said dielectric housing (2), comprises a first spring arm (41) inclining upwardly toward the center of said receiving cavity (20), and a pair of second spring arms (46) inclining downwardly from the upper end of the first spring arm (41) giving a reinforce spring strength to said upper end of said first spring arm (41).
