Battery contact stamping

open diecarbon steel

Commonly-stocked nickel-plated carbon steel battery spring wire, available in sizes of 0.020 inches (0.5mm) and 0.024 inches (0.6mm). Battery contact springs play a crucial role in electrical circuits. They not only provide pressure to securely hold batteries in place but also conduct electrical current from the batteries to the desired circuit. The force exerted by the spring on the batteries can affect their electrical conductivity, especially in cases where surface oxidation is present on the battery contacts. Therefore, corrosion, oxidation, and the suitability of the battery spring for specific soldering processes are taken into consideration during the design process.
