1. A battery pack, comprising:
a plurality of battery cells;
a battery management system configured to acquire state information of the plurality of battery cells and control charge-discharge operations of the plurality of battery cells;
a wiring board through which the state information of the plurality of battery cells is transmitted to the battery management system, the wiring board including a plurality of conductive lines for transmitting different electrical signals; and
a connector including a plurality of connector terminals that correspond to and are coupled to the plurality of conductive lines and a connector housing accommodating the plurality of connector terminals, the connector being coupled to a mating connector of the battery management system, wherein a first connector terminal from among the plurality of connector terminals includes:
a bottom plate accommodating a first conductive line from among the plurality of conductive lines, wherein the bottom plate extends along the major length of the first conductive line while accommodating the first conductive line, the bottom plate including a first embossment in an upper surface thereof, the first embossment protruding upward toward a bottom side of the first conductive line; and
a barrel protruding upward from the bottom plate, the barrel surrounding a first lateral side and an upper surface of the first conductive line, while extending in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the bottom plate extends and compressed onto the first conductive line, the barrel including a second embossment that protrudes downward toward the top side of the first conductive line.
