Insulated Coin Cell Retainers target 3 or 6 V applications.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:30:02 -0500

Suited for high-density PCB packaging, low-profile Coin Cell Retainers are designed for lead free solder and traditional reflow processes. Units protect battery from shorting if inserted incorrectly, and allow user to stack two 20 mm cells on top of each other to achieve 6 V of power on same board. They are also suited for single cell 3-volt applications. Offering clearly marked polarity, rugged parts include solder tails that support visual inspection systems.
