Designed for memory back-up and stand-by applications, these contacts permit quick and easy coin cell replacement and installation. Eliminating "soldered-in" cells, computer, video, telecommunication and similar PCB based product users now have a reliable, "no tools required" method for changing batteries.

Extremely economical (less than $.10 each in volume quantities), these retainer contact are manufactured from precision stamped spring steel and plated with a high luster nickel finish. They are available in surface mount (SMT) or thru hole mount (THM) styles for 12mm, 20mm, 23mm and 24mm coin cells. The THM version has stable mounting legs for excellent board retention during wave solder. The SMT version includes a unique solder tail "flow-hole" design to bolster reflow and strengthen solder joints. Both feature dual spring contacts to assure reliable connections and a low contact resistance.

Balanced and light weight for pick up and placement, these contacts are compatible with vacuum and mechanical assembly systems. The SMT version is available on tape and reel and the carrier tape is conductive polystyrene which meets the ANSI/EIA - 481 standard.

Application engineering services are available to meet special customer requirements.
