Components Corp: Space-Saving Battery Terminations Battery contacts. Denville, NJ — Components Corporation has introduced its freestanding BC-501 battery contact series. The low profile, small footprint contacts reportedly ensure a highly reliable, high spring force battery retention due to its exclusive wireform design. The contacts also provide a high level of design flexibility as the parts can be randomly placed on a circuit board to facilitate optimal board layout and design efficiency. The contacts are manufactured using a next-generation, proprietary technology which eliminates standard plastic housings to further reduce overall package size and weight. Targeted to OEMs and assemblers, the BC-501 battery contacts are especially suited for use in the broadest range of space-constrained wireless communications, mobile computing, consumer, and industrial applications in which weight and size are factors. The contacts therefore are most commonly specified to terminate batteries in such consumer hand-held devices as cell phones, PDAs, and pagers, as well as in test and measurement, medical, and remote monitoring equipment. The RoHS-compliant parts have a current rating of 2 Amperes, and are manufactured of phosphor bronze #510 alloy, with a gold (0.00001 min.) finish over nickel (0.00002 min.) underplate to ensure excellent performance properties. Measuring 0.039 X 0.250-in., the contacts are provided on 8mm wide, 4mm pitch, conductive polycarbonate tape that meets ANSI/EIA-481 standards, and are supplied on 7-in. (1,000 pieces) tape and reel.
