DIGI-KEY STANDARD Series, Battery Holders, Clips, Contacts

Battery holders, clips, and contacts are essential components that enable circuitry and devices to connect to battery-based power sources. They support various termination methods, such as plugs, PC pins, crimp, surface and through-hole solder, snaps, or wire leads, making it easy to interface with different types of battery-powered devices. Battery holders are specially designed to securely hold batteries in place. They typically come in coin cell, cylindrical, or rectangular shapes and can hold anywhere from one to ten or more cells in series and parallel configurations. The holder's design and materials provide a secure and stable connection for the battery while ensuring proper alignment and spacing. This helps to prevent damage to the battery or the device and ensures reliable and consistent power delivery. Battery clips and contacts are used to establish electrical connections between the battery and external circuitry. They come in different shapes and sizes and are designed to match the specific requirements of different battery types. The clips and contacts may be mounted directly onto the battery holder or integrated into the device's circuit board. This allows for different termination methods to be used, depending on the specific application and device requirements. Overall, battery holders, clips, and contacts play a crucial role in enabling battery-powered devices to function effectively and efficiently. By providing a secure and stable connection between the battery and the device, they help ensure reliable and consistent power delivery, maximizing the performance and lifespan of the battery and the device.
