Protection circuit assembly and battery pack having the same

Abstract

A protection circuit assembly and a battery pack including the same detachment of a lead plate from a protection circuit board. The battery pack includes a bare cell including a cap assembly having an electrode terminal and a cap plate; and a protection circuit assembly including; a protection circuit board having first and second connection terminals, a first lead plate to connect the first connection terminal to the cap plate, and a second lead plate to connect the second connection terminal to the electrode terminal, the second lead plate including a groove and/or a hole formed at one side connected in the second connection. A solder cream is applied to sides and upper edges of the lead plate to securely attach the second lead plate to the protection circuit board, thereby preventing the detachment of the second lead plate from the protection circuit board.
