Vertical-Mating Battery Connectors from K-AVX
The new 9155-900 Series 2.5mm-pitch vertical-mate battery connectors provide engineers in the industrial, automotive, datacom, household appliance, and consumer electronics markets with robust, reliable, and user-friendly power connectivity solutions.
Board to Board Battery Connector
The 9155-900 series features a unique contact geometry that deflects cleanly when a module, battery pack, mating connector, or PCB is vertically pushed into position, enabling full vertical engagement without the risk of contact damage.
Traditional right-angle battery connectors require users to engage the contacts by inserting the mating module or battery pack at an angle before rotating it into position to reliably prevent contact damage that could negatively impact connector performance and lifetime. The 9155-900 Series does not. In fact, users can mate these connectors from any angle without inadvertently damaging the contacts, ensuring high-integrity connections regardless of user experience or skill level.
The 9155-900 Series 2.5mm-pitch vertical-mate battery connectors feature an extremely forgiving sweeping beam contact design and an anti-snag feature that reliably protects the contacts from damage during deflection, as well as when static.
The series also features ultra-robust and reliable gold-plated beryllium copper (BeCu) contacts that deliver excellent electrical and mechanical performance for up to 5,000 mating cycles and optional plastic locating bosses and solder tabs that maximize the mechanical stability of the connector in high-shock and vibration environments, like automotive applications.
