ABSTRACT:
A contact assembly provides a reliable contact between a battery pack and an electronic device. The assembly includes a plurality of contact members and an insulator molded to the contact members. The plurality of contact members preferably include a positive contact member and a negative contact member each having a weldable surface and a selectively plated surface. The weldable surfaces are welded to the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack, respectively. The selectively plated surfaces are preferably plated with gold to ensure a good connection between the device and the battery pack. The insulator serves to fix the contact members relative to each other. In addition, the insulator facilitates minimization of the battery pack size by enabling the contacts to be placed very close to each other.
