D-Cell Holder Handles Harsh Environments

Targeting both military and industrial applications, the BHD-2 holder for D-size batteries promises easy battery changes without tools and high strength. Built-in reverse battery protection prevents contact when a battery is inserted backwards. The component accommodates PCB mounting with twin 0.1" wide tails for stability and strength, or the holder can be hard wired using the two wire holes on the contact tails. Contacts are nickel-plated stainless steel measuring 0.026" thick. Pricing is $2.49 each/1,000.
