ABSTRACT:
An electrically conductive gas spring for use in opening and closing a hinged deck lid of an automotive vehicle and for transmitting electric current to current consuming devices on the deck lid by way of an electrical path which extends between terminal connectors at opposed ends of the spring. The terminal connectors each have integrally formed mounting apertures which are of smaller size than a respective terminal pin upon which the connector is mounted such that the connector tightly and securely engages the outer perimeter of the terminal pin in electrically conductive relation without the need for auxilary threaded fasteners or the like. In one embodiment, the terminal connectors further serve to secure end mounting fittings to the ends of the gas spring without additional fastening means.
