Button-cell-battery holder provides a secure hold on PCBs

10-05-2023 | Rutronik | Industrial

Keystone Electronics Corp has launched the 12mm 'Vibra-Fit', a button cell holder designed for CR1220 lithium button cells for mounting on PCBs. The holder is available in OEM (bulk) packaging or on tape-and-reel from Rutronik. The particularly robust holder is compatible with vacuum and mechanical placement systems.

This button cell holder offers gold-plated phosphor bronze double spring contacts and a glass-filled, high-temperature resistant thermoplastic (PPS) base. The battery holder is surface mountable, providing quick and simple replacement or insertion of button cell batteries. Marked polarities make it more user-friendly.

The button cell holder is RoHS-compliant, delivers a compact and exceptionally flat design, and weighs only 0.7g. These features make it an outstanding option for densely populated PCBs. In these applications, the button cell holder guarantees reliable retention of the batteries, particularly in cases involving strong vibrations or massive shocks.
