Abstract
A protection circuit assembly and a battery pack including the same, which can simplify a manufacturing process and increase productivity. The protection circuit assembly includes a protection circuit board including a connection terminal, and a first lead plate connected to the connection terminal and having a coupling hole. The battery pack includes a bare cell having a protrusion, and a protection circuit assembly electrically connected with the bare cell and including a first lead plate having a coupling hole. Accordingly, the battery pack includes a protection circuit assembly including a lead plate having a coupling hole, and a bare cell including a structure inserted into the coupling hole, and thus it is possible to simplify a manufacturing process and increase productivity.
