SMT contacts are ideal for automated assembly and low-profile designs, while through-hole contacts offer superior mechanical strength for high-vibration environments.

What are Battery Accessories components?
Battery accessories encompass the mechanical and electrical interface components required to secure, connect, and protect cells within a device. Selection focuses on contact resistance, material plating, vibration resistance, and physical footprint constraints.
How to Choose Battery Accessories Components
Select accessories based on the physical cell format and the electrical environment of your design.
Contact Material
Choose gold-plated contacts for low-current, high-reliability signals; nickel-plated steel is standard for general power applications.
Mounting Style
Determine if your design requires SMT, through-hole, or chassis-mount hardware based on your PCB assembly process.
Vibration Resistance
For portable or automotive designs, prioritize clips with high retention force to prevent intermittent power loss.
Current Rating
Ensure the contact spring and terminal gauge are rated for your peak discharge current to avoid resistive heating.
Environmental Sealing
If the device is exposed to moisture, select accessories that support gasketed or sealed battery compartments.
