About Battery Springs and Contacts
Battery springs and contacts are components used in electronic devices, in order to provide a stable and reliable connection between a battery and the device.
Typically, manufacturers make battery springs from a high-quality spring steel material, providing high elasticity and durability. Additionally, they design battery springs to hold the battery securely, while providing a consistent pressure level to ensure a reliable electrical connection. Battery springs come in various shapes and sizes and can be customized to fit specific device requirements.
Battery contacts, also known as battery connectors or terminals, transfer electrical current from the battery to the device. Furthermore, manufacturers often use copper, brass, or phosphor bronze to produce good conductivity and corrosion resistance. Battery contacts come in various designs, including through-hole, surface mount, and compression types.
The selection of the appropriate battery spring and contact depends on various factors: the type and size of the battery, the device’s power requirements, and the desired level of reliability. Choosing high-quality components and ensuring proper installation is crucial to prevent potential issues, such as poor connections or battery damage.

What’s battery spring
A battery contact spring typically must perform two roles, first to help provide pressure to hold batteries in place. And second, to conduct electrical current from the batteries to the desired circuit.
The force exerted by the spring on the battery or batteries often affects the electrical conductivity. This is especially the case where surface oxidation on the battery contacts may be present. The designer should consider the suitability of corrosion, oxidation, and battery spring for specific soldering processes during design..
Our engineer designed our battery contacts to adjust to varying lengths and provide low contact resistance and dependable connections. Therefore, ach of the two configurations works with the most popular battery sizes: AA and AAA. In addition, our battery spring offers a choice of two materials: nickel-coated music wire or silver-coated beryllium copper.
