Knowledge About Battery Contacts-Electrical Contacts Manufacturer
Various electronic products have been invented and manufactured with the rapid development of electronic technology. Many of these electronic products need to be powered by batteries, and the function of batteries cannot be achieved without using battery contacts. Because the battery shrapnel is hidden inside the device, it is easily overlooked by people but has a great effect. Next, let’s learn about more knowledge about battery contacts.
Characteristics of Battery Contacts
Battery contact belongs to metal stamping, also known as battery connector, charger terminal, battery connector contact, battery spring contact, metal battery contact, etc. Among metal stamping parts, battery contact is a product we use more. Generally, the material of the contacts is determined according to the purpose and performance of the contacts. For example, choosing a material with high physical resilience and pressure is necessary. Battery contact is an important part of the battery, made of copper, iron, stainless steel, and other materials. Plating with CT, silver, and nickel.
When the battery contacts installed on the conductive film are pressed, the center point of the contacts gets to the PCB board to form a loop, and then the current passes through. It has the characteristics of strong conductivity and good hand feeling. The battery shrapnel belt is the best choice for consumer electronic parts because of its excellent “ductility,” “wear resistance and fatigue strength,” and hardness.
Use of Battery Contact
Battery Contact is a kind of elastic element widely used in mechanical and electronic industries. The reason for choosing stainless steel as battery contact is that the manufacturing materials of contact should generally have a high elastic limit, fatigue limit, impact toughness, and good heat treatment performance. It can produce large elastic deformation and convert mechanical work or kinetic energy into deformation energy when loaded. After unloading, the deformation of the contacts disappears and returns to its original shape, transforming the deformation energy into mechanical work or kinetic energy. The battery contacts are widely used in stamping parts, relay parts, connector parts, mobile phone parts， auto parts, and other industries due to their excellent Elastic properties and physical properties.
Production Process of Battery Contacts
The production of battery contact is a special process of processing materials (metal or non-metal) into parts (or semi-finished products) through cold stamping processing of stamping dies. Stamping is a pressure processing method that uses a mold installed on a press to apply pressure to the material at room temperature to cause separation or plastic deformation to obtain the required parts.
Different Types of Battery Contacts and Their Functions
Surface Mounted Battery Contacts
This type takes up less space and is located outside the device. Best for gadgets without a specified battery case. This type is essential to achieve high spring tension. In addition, it has low connection resistance. It also facilitates installation during maintenance. Surface mount battery contacts allow me to change my design if needed.
Cylindrical Spring Battery Contacts
This type of battery contact is located in the gadget’s body or device. It provides a designated compartment for the battery and also saves space. It’s cheap and can be adjusted for batteries of different lengths. This type of battery has a lower contact resistance. TV remotes and walkie-talkies are examples of this type of contact. These types of contracts provide consumers with enormous flexibility. They provide solidity to the battery.
PC Battery Contacts
As the name suggests, these battery contacts are for PCs. Designs vary by brand. Still, they retain their unique qualities. They also have dedicated battery compartments.
Enclosure Battery Contacts
It is an advancement of spring battery contacts. This housing battery contact takes up less space. They are also easier to install. Due to their compact nature, they are used for remote manual control. This type is suitable for low-power devices. The batteries used are usually small compared to other batteries. They are used in almost every industry, such as watches, digital timers, car remote controls, etc.
