ABSTRACT:
A pair of electrical connectors are provided to enable quick connection or disconnection of a lead from an automotive battery. The connectors include mateable pin and socket terminals that are of split tube design to achieve inward deflection of the pin terminal and outward deflection of the socket terminal with correspondingly high contact forces and large contact surface areas. The terminals are securely mounted in housings that are mateable with one another. One housing preferably includes helically formed cam slots that are dimensioned to receive cam followers unitarily molded with the opposed housing. The helical cam slot provides a desirable mechanical advantage during mating and unmating and contributes to the plural directional wiping of the terminals insert molded therein.
