A connector examining system includes a mechanism to move a terminal into a proper insertion position and to determine if the terminal is in the proper insertion position. The system includes a probe holder, a connector holder, and terminal pushing member. Resilient members assure that the connector is moved to a position where the terminal is properly positioned. A connector has its orientation corrected by a tapered surface of the probe holder. The connector housing includes a lance which projects into a cavity and is elastically deformable toward a lance flexure space by the metal terminal inserted into the cavity. A lance of the connector assures that the terminal is retained in the connector. The metal terminal optionally has stabilizers positioned on opposite sides of the lance. A check pin of the probe holder, which is insertable into the lance flexure space, optionally has a front end check portion pivotally movable toward the stabilizers.

An engaging member including a reinforcing projection and a cut-out portion. A recess complementary to the reinforcing projection is formed in the inner wall of the deflection space which receives the engaging member when it is deflected. When the engaging member is deflected by the terminal, the reinforcing projection fits into the recess. Excessive deflection of the engaging member is prevented by the contact of the surface of the cut-out portion with the inner wall of the deflection space. The strength of the engaging member is assured by the presence of the reinforcing projection. Since sufficient deflection room for the engaging member is provided by both the deflection space and the recess, the thickness of the deflection space can be made smaller than in prior art connectors by the depth of the recess.

A battery terminal includes a main member and ring member, each made from a conductive metal. A stud bolt for cable connection projects from the main member. A post fitting is provided in the ring member. The ring member is placed on top of the main member with one end of the ring member supported by the main member and the other end at an angle floating free above the main member. This other end is passed over the stud bolt and the post fitting of the ring member is fit over the battery post. The battery cable terminals are fit onto the stud bolt. When the nut is tightened on the stud bolt, the terminals are tightened against the ring member, which is at an angle to the battery post, and the post fitting of the ring member is forced down and clamped against the battery post. Thus, securing the battery terminal to the battery post and securing the cable terminals to the battery terminal can be simultaneously completed by a single thread tightening operation.
