Pfarrkirchen, Germany -- At electronica 2010 in Munich, Suyin announced that it now offers battery connectors for virtually any application, from mobile phones and notebooks to portable devices for industrial, automotive, and medical device applications. With over 1,000 different variants of ready-to-order battery connector already solutions on hand, the company notes that it can also provide fast development and production for custom designs.

The company says its line of stock battery connectors can be divided up into two basic contact categories: spring contacts (max. typical current carrying capacity of up to 5 A) and blade contacts (max. typical current carrying capacity of up to 7 A). Battery connectors with spring contacts are particularly cost efficient, notes Suyin, and they ensure user-friendly handling, because they establish direct contact with the battery’s contact surfaces. Due to their small dimensions, they are ideally suited for compact applications with tight space constraints.
The company says its plug-and-socket systems with blade contacts feature excellent robustness and mating reliability (sliding contacts). As a result, they are also well suited for industrial applications that operate under extreme environmental conditions.
On the basis of the application details, the company says its onsite support staff determines the ideal solution in a fast manner and in a way that is simple and convenient for the customer. Customer-specific battery connectors from Suyin make it possible to customize the design to match the end device. The ideal miniaturization that this allows offers the greatest possible space savings for the application, notes the company. Furthermore, adhering to the “design-to-cost” principle ensures consistent realization of the least expensive solution – all the way to suitable packaging for automatic assembly.
Examples of custom battery connectors, according to the company, include the case of two different battery connector versions developed for two distinct series of devices. The 250097GA series of battery connectors was developed to customer specifications. This battery connector, which is equipped with spring contacts for surface mounting, is available in two versions for two different series of devices. They each have different connector heights and different numbers of contacts as well as a different exterior design for the connector housing.
Moreover, in accordance with customer specifications, a first-make/last-break spring contact, an additional SMT soldering contact and the possibility for employing screw fastening for ideal handling of extraction forces were integrated. The contact forces were also defined to meet customer-specific requirements. Two positioning posts with different diameters safeguard against improper alignment. Last but not least, the use of identical ground (earth) contacts in the spring area and in the soldering area for two different versions offers considerable potential for reducing the design and tool costs.
