Battery Holders and Connectors
15 products
Battery holders and connectors are essential for providing reliable and organized power links to your circuits. From maker projects to industrial uses, selecting the correct holder and connector ensures smooth operation. A wrong match can lead to contact issues, voltage drop, or overheating.
Types of Battery Holders
- Cylindrical Holders: For AA, AAA, 18650, etc. Available in 1, 2, or 4 cell configurations with solder pins or screw terminals.
- 9V Snap Connectors: Clip-on solution for 9V block batteries, easy to attach and detach.
- Coin Cell Holders: Horizontal or vertical mount for CR2032, CR1220, with metal contacts.
- PCB Mount & Adhesive Base: Options for board-level or case-internal mounting.
Power Connectors
Various connector types are used to link battery holders or direct battery packs to circuits:
- JST Family: Miniature JST-PH, JST-XH for balance leads in Li-Po packs and low-current connections.
- XT60 / XT30: Low-resistance yellow connectors favored in high-current drone, RC, and robotics.
- T-Dean (T-plug): Rugged, easy to solder for portable power.
- Barrel Jack: Reliable polarized connection for adapters.
What to Consider When Choosing
Contact material (nickel-plated, gold flash) prevents oxidation; wire gauge (AWG) determines current capacity. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting hole spacing fit your project. For high-current applications, choose low-resistance connectors like XT60. The right selection ensures efficient energy transfer and stable operation.
