It provides a more secure and controlled connection point than improvised wiring methods, reducing the risk of loose connections, accidental disconnection, or short circuits when working with battery power in the field.\n\nThe clamp is 3D printed using ABS plastic filament, chosen for its strength and durability in a component that must maintain a secure mechanical grip under regular use.\n\n[[File:EE004 Image CAD.jpg|thumb|CAD image of the Battery Terminal Wire Clamp]]\n\n{{Device data|design-files=https://www.appropedia.org/File:EE004_Eng_Dwg.zip|schematics=https://www.appropedia.org/File:EE004_CAD.zip}}\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n! colspan=\"2\" |More Product Information\n|-\n| Author Code\n| EE004\n|-\n| Documentation License\n| CC-BY-4.0\n|-\n| Open Hardware License\n| CERN\n|-\n| OSHWA Certified\n| February 25, 2020\n|-\n| OSHWA UID\n| US000229\n|-\n| Start Date (Development)\n| February 16, 2018\n|-\n| End Date (Development)\n| February 16, 2018\n|-\n| Designer\n| Tom van der Vaart\n|-\n| Maker\n| Tom van der Vaart\n|-\n| Main Materials\n| ABS Filament\n|}\n\n== Readiness Levels ==\n\n''Levels are identified based on this reference:'' [[Field Ready Readiness Levels]]\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n!

A maker manual provides step-by-step instructions for replicating the design, including materials, tools, and assembly guidance, so that makers in different locations can build the product accurately and consistently. A user manual, where applicable, explains how to properly set up, use, and maintain the product once it is built, helping ensure it performs safely and as intended for the end user. Together, these manuals make the design accessible to both fabricators and the people who ultimately rely on the product.\n}}{{Page data\n| part-of = Global Field Ready Portfolio\n| sdg = SDG09 Industry innovation and infrastructure\n| authors = Charles Vincent Barrete\n| organizations = Field Ready\n| location = Nepal\n| license = CC-BY-SA-4.0\n}}"}
