Harwin – Easy-fit cost-effective SMT coin cell holder provides secure retention (BR1225/CR1225)

With the introduction of a new single-piece surface-mountable coin cell holder, Harwin has expanded its range of EZ BoardWare products. The part ensures coin cells are securely retained in place while cutting assembly time.

The EZ coin cell holders can accommodate 12.5mm diameter x 2.5mm thick BR1225 and CR1225 coin cells and are available in tape-and-reel packaging making them ideal for automatic placement systems.

The low-profile holders provide a cost-effective solution to the problem of battery mounting. Coin cells are securely held in place, yet they can be quickly and easily removed when they run down. Manufactured in phosphor bronze and tin plated, the clips employ a twin beam contact system, resulting in a mechanically strong product.

Product manager, Paul Gillam, said: “EZ coin Cell Holders enable companies to reduce manufacturing costs while achieving a very secure solution. The product will suit most markets, with typical applications including on-board power supplies to drive memory circuits.”
