ABSTRACT:
A battery pack connection consists of a substantially flat male plate having a plurality of spaced headed projections and female electrical terminals carried within a projecting housing and a substantially flat female plate having a plurality of keyholes designed to facilitate receiving the projections and male electrical terminals positioned within a recess for engagement with the female electrical terminals. At least one rotatable member is mounted on the female plate and has a pin that engages over the head of a corresponding projection to enable locking of the plates in both their electrical and mechanical connected relationship. Upon rotation of the member, the pin is moved out of engagement with the projection to enable uncoupling of the plates. A safety latch can be activated to abut the rotatable member when the plates are locked together to preclude inadvertent decoupling.
