Patent ID: 7981539

Claim:
A battery connector comprising: a housing having a bottom wall, two sidewalls extending upward from two sides of the bottom wall, a back wall extending upward from a back end of the bottom wall, and at least one partition wall mounted between the two sidewalls, the partition wall connected with the bottom wall and the back wall and separating a space between the two sidewalls to form a plurality of terminal recesses in the housing; a plurality of electric terminals received in the corresponding terminal recesses respectively and each having a base portion, one end of the base portion extending forward to form a soldering portion for contacting a printed circuit board, and the other end of the base portion bending upward to form a connecting portion, a free end of the connecting portion extending forward and upward and then bending downward to form a contacting portion protruding upward out of the housing for contacting a battery; and a stopping element set at a front of the housing and located at a front of the contacting portion of the each electric terminal for stopping the each electric terminal from moving forward, wherein the stopping element has a top surface defining a plurality of first openings, a back surface and two side surfaces, lower portions of the two side surfaces respectively protrude outward to form protuberances, tops of the two sidewalls of the housing extend vis-a-vis to form blocking walls respectively, a front of the partition wall defines a second opening near a top of the partition wall, a projection is formed at a top of the second opening, the stopping element is fixed firmly in the second opening, the projection is inserted into the first opening, and the protuberances of the stopping element tightly contact inner surfaces of the sidewalls and bottom surfaces of the blocking walls; wherein each of the first openings of the stopping element has a bottom surface, a back end of the bottom surface of the each first opening slants downward to form a first leading surface between the bottom surface of the each first opening and the back surface of the stopping element, a back end of a top surface of each protuberance slants downward to form another first leading surface, a bottom of the back surface of the stopping element further forms another first leading surface, a third leading surface is formed between the bottom surface and a front surface of each of the blocking walls, and another third leading surface is formed between a bottom surface of the second opening and a front surface of the partition wall, the stopping element is inserted into the housing by cooperative leading of the first leading surfaces and the corresponding third leading surfaces.
