Backup Battery Holder Component – Computer, Electronic and Optical Product Manufacturing

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered component designed to securely house and maintain electrical contact with a backup battery (typically coin cell type) in Real-Time Clock circuits. It provides uninterrupted power to the RTC chip during main power loss, preserving accurate time and date data in electronic systems. Key features include low-contact resistance, vibration resistance, and reliable spring-loaded contacts for consistent battery performance.

Working Principle

The backup battery holder maintains physical and electrical connection between the battery and RTC circuit through spring-loaded contacts. When main power is available, the RTC operates from the primary supply while the battery remains in standby. During power loss, the battery automatically supplies power to the RTC chip through the holder's conductive path, preventing data loss and maintaining time accuracy.

Materials

Phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating (typically 0.3-0.5μm), PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) housing (UL94 V-0 rated), nickel-plated steel springs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What battery types are compatible with standard RTC backup holders?

Most industrial RTC backup holders are designed for CR2032 or CR2025 lithium coin cells, with some models accommodating multiple sizes through adjustable contacts.

How does the holder prevent battery leakage or corrosion?

Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation, while precision spring tension maintains consistent pressure without over-compressing the battery. The PBT housing provides chemical resistance and thermal stability.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
