Coin Cell Battery Removal Device Utilizing Tactile Feedback and Positive Retention
Coin cell batteries are used commonly in many applications and industries
- Placed on PCBs as an on-board power source
- Often placed at board edge for ease of access
- Often partially obscured and difficult to reach or grip with fingers
- PBCs are very sensitive to bending stress
Tactile feedback and positive retention without requiring user “clamping force”
- Unlatch only requires uniaxial push/pull force
- Wedge shaped front feature utilizes material elasticity to eject battery automatically
- Symmetric shaped optimized as lowest cost injection molded solution while easy to grip
