Abstract

A pole terminal ( 10 ) for connection to a connecting pin of a vehicle battery having a clamping element ( 12 ) for at least partially engaging around a circumference of a clamping section of the connecting pin and having a connecting device ( 16 ) for one or more power cables. In addition to the clamping element ( 12 ), a connecting pin ( 18 ) is provided, whose circumferential dimensions in one clamping section correspond, within a predeterminable tolerance, to the circumferential dimensions of the clamping section of the connecting pin of the vehicle battery.

Claims (13)

1. A connecting cable, comprising:

at one end of said connecting cable, a first clamping element, the first clamping element configured to partially engage around a circumference of a clamping section of a connecting pin of a vehicle battery; and

at another end of said connecting cable, a pole terminal, the pole terminal comprising:

a second clamping element, the second clamping element configured to at least partially engage around a circumference of a clamping section of a battery connecting pin,

a connector having a through-hole, said another end of the connecting cable being connected to said connector via said through-hole,

and

a pole terminal connecting pin having circumferential dimensions in one clamping section corresponding, within a predeterminable tolerance, to circumferential dimensions of the clamping section of the battery connecting pin.

2. The connecting cable as recited in claim 1 wherein a central longitudinal axis of the clamping section of the pole terminal connecting pin is aligned parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the second clamping element.

3. The connecting cable as recited in claim 1 wherein at least the clamping section of the pole terminal connecting pin is frustoconical.

4. The connecting cable as recited in claim 1 wherein the pole terminal connecting pin is arranged on an outer circumference of the second clamping element offset through an angle of between 80° and 100° relative to the connector, the connector also being arranged on the outer circumference of the clamping element.

5. The connecting cable as recited in claim 1 wherein the pole terminal connecting pin and the connector are arranged one behind the other on an outer circumference of the second clamping element and project radially from the outer circumference.

6. The connecting cable as recited in claim 1 wherein the pole terminal connecting pin and the connector are on opposing sides of the second clamping element.

7. The connecting cable as recited in claim 1 wherein the connector is connected to said another end of the connecting cable by pressing the connector together to connect wires of the connecting cable to the through-hole of the connector.
