The best functional alternative is KH-BS1220-2-SMT from the same manufacturer. It holds the same CR1220 battery but is a surface-mount (SMT) part, requiring a PCB layout change.
Best Alternatives to KH-CR1220-2
KH-CR1220-2 is a through-hole coin cell battery holder for CR1220 batteries. Finding a direct drop-in replacement is challenging, but functional alternatives with different mounting styles exist.
AI replacement insight
Package riskhigh
Requires board redesign from through-hole to surface-mount.
Electrical risklow
Functionally similar as both are holders for the same battery type.
Can it be replaced directly?
No direct pin-to-pin replacement has been identified. All viable alternatives require board layout modifications.
Best replacement path
The best path is to consider a surface-mount (SMT) alternative like KH-BS1220-2-SMT, which requires a PCB layout change.
Main risk
The primary risk is the mechanical incompatibility; alternatives have different mounting types (SMT vs. Through-Hole).
