Yokowo adds compact battery connector

Yokowo has expanded its two-piece battery connector line to include a compact version featuring two fewer blades than its original 6-blade type. The new four-blade model battery connector allows flexibility for both horizontal and vertical blade insertion. The compact size has also resulted in a reduction in pitch from 3 mm to 2.5 mm, says the company. The two-piece battery connector is intended for use in devices where uninterrupted power is critical, including cell phones, mobile devices, GPS units, tablet PCs, and any type of handheld portable unit that is operated in a harsh environment. The 4-blade type is capable of handling high rated currents of up to 2A per blade.

The compact two-piece battery connector features a 30m maximum (initial) contact resistance, operating temperatures ranging from -40ºC to +85ºC, voltage of 12V AC/DC, and operational durability of 2,000 cycles. The plug side measures 2.2mm (H) x 2.6mm (W) x 7mm (L); the receptacle side measures 3mm (H) x 2.5mm (W) x 8.8 mm (L). Each blade consists of four contacts with a 2.5 mm pitch. To ensure a constant connection, the receptacle side features dual beam contact in both insertion directions. Two tabs are uniquely fitted on the receptacle to provide a secure grip around the blade upon insertion. Biaxial torsion and a floating function absorb the battery gap, and reduce the risk of intermittent power outages, even if the device is dropped.
