Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making a connector (20) having co-planar contact surfaces including the steps of: providing a housing (22) having a plurality of contact-receiving slots (30), each having stop surfaces (32) that are precisely co-planar to define a referenced datum in the housing (22); selecting a plurality of contacts (40) having cooperating stop surfaces (44) and a surface mountable connecting portion (50) bent from a first connecting portion (42) and defining a contact surface facing away from the stop surface (44), the contacts (40) being bent at an angle slightly less than 90 DEG ; inserting the contacts (40) into respective slots (30); and striking the surface mountable contact portions with a tool having a precisely planar surface and applying force thereto until the respective stop surfaces (32, 44), engage each other and the second connecting portions (50) are at precisely right angles to the respective first connecting portions (42) such that the surface mountable contact surfaces are co-planar.

Abstract: A connector (60) for disk-shaped batteries (40) including a housing (62) with a battery receiving cavity (74), opposed endwalls (66) having spring arms (68) that extend outwardly from the cavity (74) for retaining the battery (40) in the housing (62), a surface mountable positive terminal (77), and a surface mountable negative terminal (79). The positive and negative terminals (77, 79) are disposed in respective terminal receiving passageways (72) of the housing with spring arm contact sections (80) opposing each other along the housing sidewalls and with surface mountable connecting sections (84) of both the terminals (77, 79) extending outwardly from respective the housing sidewalls (64) at the bottom thereof. The terminals are electrically engageable with battery electrodes on opposed surfaces of the battery, and the surface mountable connecting sections thereof are spaced apart at least the thickness of the battery, being a sufficient distance from each other to prevent bridging therebetween when the connecting sections are soldered to respective circuit pads on a circuit board.
