CONNECTING TAB OF BATTERY PACK, COUPLING STRUCTURE BETWEEN THE CONNECTING TAB AND WIRE, AND COUPLING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A connector for electrically connecting a wire to at least one battery or a protective circuit module, the connector comprising:
- a first connecting member having a first and a second surface that electrically connects to the at least one battery or the protective circuit module via the first surface; and
a second connecting member having a first and second surface that is coupled to the first connecting member so that the first surface of the second connecting member is positioned adjacent the second surface of the first connecting member and wherein the wire is electrically coupled to the second connecting member.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a connecting tab of a battery pack, which allows a wire to be firmly coupled to a battery cell or a protective circuit module, a coupling structure between the connecting tab and a wire, and coupling method thereof. In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting tab coupled to a battery cell or a protective circuit module includes a first conductive layer electrically connected to the battery cell or the protective circuit module, and a second conductive layer formed on the first conductive layer and coupled to a wire. The second conductive layer may include a pair of coupling protrusions upwardly protruding for connection of the wire. A solder may further be formed on the coupling protrusions and the wire.
