Julian, V J

A battery cable termination includes a plastic housing molded directly over a composite plate in the formation of which a metal tube is first compressed onto the bare strands of a wire cable to form a flat plate, and the tube is again compressed in a forging operation to provide an annular recess at the top and an annular complementary bottom surface for providing a large area contact surface. The housing includes a depending, outwardly flared, integral skirt which sealably contacts a battery case and also sealably contacts the shoulder of a battery terminal stud when the termination is operatively positioned on the stud with a threaded portion of the stud extending through a hole through said annular recess and said complementary bottom surface.
