Abstract: A battery pack, charger, and terminal blocks for the pack, charger and a cordless power tool are provided. The pack includes battery cells disposed between end caps within a bottom housing of the pack, and a potting boat for housing pack electronics electrically connected to the cells between the end caps and disposed within a pack top housing. A pack terminal block is connected to the potting boat within the top housing. The charger and the power tool each include a terminal block for providing electrical connections between the charger/tool and the battery pack. The terminal block is configured to float side-to-side to provide displaceable movement of the terminal block within the charger housing or tool housing for aligning the battery pack terminal block therein.

Abstract: A female terminal with a mating end suited for receiving a male pin with flat surfaces and a circuit-connecting end for connection to a wire. A terminal-receiving passageway at the mating end has two spaced apart sidewalls, which may be in the form of U-shaped channels, extending lengthwise along the passageway with one or more slots separating the U-shaped channels. Enlarged flat contacting surfaces are formed in the opposing sidewalls and are disposed at an angle to the sidewalls. The sidewalls resiliently flex apart from each other as the male pin is inserted into the passageway such that the angled contacting surfaces become coplanar with the flat surfaces of the male pin and electrically contact the male pin over a greater area than that provided by dimples. One or more notches may be disposed at selected points in the sidewalls of the female terminal to better define and control the flexing characteristics of the spaced apart sidewalls.

Abstract translation: 具有匹配端的母端子适于接收具有平坦表面的阳销和用于连接到电线的电路连接端。 在配合端处的端子接收通道具有两个间隔开的侧壁，其可以是U形通道的形式，沿着通道纵向延伸，其中一个或多个槽分隔U形通道。 放大的平坦接触表面形成在相对的侧壁中并且与侧壁成角度地设置。 当阳销插入通道中时，侧壁弹性地彼此分开，使得成角度的接触表面变得与阳销的平坦表面共面，并且在比凹部提供的面积更大的面积上电接触阳销。 一个或多个凹口可以设置在阴端子的侧壁中的选定点处，以更好地限定和控制间隔开的侧壁的弯曲特性。
