Covered coin cell holders increase reliability
Snap Dragons coin cell battery holders are said to drastically increase the reliability of open-top coin cell holders by using a snap-on cover piece. Having a height above the PCB of just 4.83 mm including the cover piece, they provide an easy and intuitive battery installation and replacement process supporting popular CR2032 batteries with through-hole and surface-mount versions.
The holders’ contacts are made of nickel-plated phosphor bronze and covered with a gold flash for corrosion resistance and increased solderability. They are designed to have a low electrical resistance and extra tight connection with the CR2032. The lightweight LCP holder base is extremely strong, and can withstand up to 280°C for reflow-solder process compatibility. Applications include automotive products, handheld electronics, key fobs, and industrial equipment. (Contact company for price and availability.)
