AA covered battery holders are water resistant, carry IP65 rating

Keystone Electronics has introduced their latest covered, plastic battery holders. These self-contained holders may be placed on or off a board as well as between components, cards or anywhere within a case or piece of equipment as space allows.  In addition to portability, these devices feature coil spring contacts to accommodate various battery lengths and to firmly secure batteries in place – ensuring positive, low-contact resistance connections.

Manufactured from molded ABS for increased durability, these holders are supplied with a sealing gasket to ensure a watertight compartment for AA batteries. These self-contained, covered battery enclosures are IP65 rated to withstand water, dust and other harsh environments.  Included in these enclosures are 6” long, #26 AWG pre-tinned, wire leads for simplified installation; nickel-plated spring steel contacts and a built-in, sealed, on-off switch for additional product security.  Holders are available in configurations to accommodate two AA cells (Cat. No 2438), three AA Cells (Cat. No 2439) or four AA Cells (Cat. No 2440) from stock through Keystone’s global distribution network.  Online ordering is also accommodated.

A major producer of SMT and THM battery hardware, Keystone supplies battery and coin cell holders, clips, straps and retainers in a broad range of sizes and types along with an extensive array of electronic interconnects and hardware.  In addition, application engineering services are provided to meet special product modifications or custom designs with active stamping, machining and assembly support.

Keystone is ISO-9001:2015 certified and RoHS, REACH compliant with USA headquarters and offices in Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia. For further details and to request literature contact (800) 221-5510 or (516) 328-7500; fax (516) 328-1080; Email:  kec@keyelco.com or view www.keyelco.com.
