Modular battery contacts are interconnection devices that are used where a rechargeable battery pack is required. They are therefore used in a wide range of portable units such as mobile phones, laptop computers and in-field medical and test equipment.
How do modular battery contacts work?
Modular battery contacts have colour-coded housings and mechanical keys to prevent two different voltage colour-coded housings from mating. The battery terminals are designed to fit either positive or negative battery posts. They're end-to-end stackable with contacts made from various metals and they offer a high cycle life.
Why use modular battery contacts?
Modular battery contacts are not just helpful for rechargeable battery applications. Because they can be used as either compression or sliding modular contacts, modular battery contacts can also function as connectors for many other non-battery related applications. They're made with a high-performance and temperature-rated thermoplastic housing, durable blade terminals and can be manufactured with a variety of metal platings, such as gold-plated nickel contacts.
