ABSTRACT:
A snap on battery connector including a yoke having a pair of jaws projecting flexibly therefrom and coupled on their free extremities with the opposite ends of a linkage, such coupling being by an eccentric cam such that rotation thereof causes the jaws to move between their closed position gripping a battery post and an opened position. A neck projects from the yoke and is formed with a cradle for receiving the battery cable. Such cradle is formed with a pair of spaced apart ribs which cooperate with a laterally extending ridge formed in an overlying clamp to facilitate gripping of the battery cable. In one embodiment, one of the jaws is formed with a stop disposed in the path of a lever arm coupled to such cam to thus prevent over rotation of the lever arm.
