Coin Cell Battery Holder - 12mm (PTH)

The Sparkfun 12mm Coin Cell Battery Holder is a through-hole design that securely holds batteries in place using friction. It's the preferred choice for RTC backup and SRAM backup in GPS units. The metal housing is positively charged, while the PCB pad underneath is negatively charged.

One of the key features of the Sparkfun 12mm Coin Cell Battery Holder is its ability to maintain a steady position for the battery. This is particularly useful in devices such as GPS units, where consistent power supply is crucial for accurate tracking and navigation.

Another advantage of this battery holder is its durable metal housing. This ensures that the battery remains safe and secure even under harsh conditions. Furthermore, the metal housing serves as the positive terminal, while the PCB pad underneath acts as the negative terminal, making it easy to install and connect the battery.

The Sparkfun 12mm Coin Cell Battery Holder is sold as individual units, making it a cost-effective solution for those who only need a single unit. It's a reliable and efficient battery holder that delivers on performance and durability.
